Overview
We are a scaled global medical technology company that develops, manufactures, and markets a comprehensive suite of solutions for the management of diabetes. Since our founding more than 40 years ago, we have pioneered groundbreaking innovation and served the needs of our customers across the globe in service of our mission to make every day a better day for people with diabetes.
We were the first player in the market to commercialize all parts of an integrated diabetes management system. This allows us to provide a five-star customer experience: an easier and consistent user experience, seamless integration, privacy and security, optimized performance and reliability, and our pioneering and industry-leading dosing algorithm, based on TIR outcomes in real-world data. This differentiated value proposition is designed to solve two key problems for PWD. First, we believe our products deliver superior health outcomes, when measured against EASD and ADA guidelines, by effectively and measurably improving glycemic control compared to other available treatment options and competing products. By enhancing glycemic control, our products can help reduce long-term complications of diabetes, improve longevity and quality of life, and reduce associated costs to health systems. Second, our customer experience reduces or substantially eliminates the burden of diabetes management for users, their families, their caregivers, and their HCPs.

Diabetes is a chronic, life-threatening disease that affects the body’s production of and response to insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas that is critical to the metabolism of glucose. It is a global epidemic, with 589 million PWD globally, according to the 2025 IDF World Atlas. The disease has no known cure and brings with it significant short and long-term health impacts, including risk of serious comorbidities. Managing diabetes is a 24/7 challenge that greatly impacts the overall quality of life of the person with diabetes as well as his or her family. People with T1D as well as those with T2D who require background (basal) and mealtime (bolus) insulin must self-administer insulin multiple times per day and continuously monitor their blood glucose levels to inform their insulin dosing.
We serve PWD who require intensive insulin therapy, which represents all people with T1D and a subset of those with T2D. We address this market by offering various diabetes technologies, including insulin delivery devices (primarily insulin pumps and pens), CGMs, other consumables, supplies, and related software and services. In total, we estimate the current market for our diabetes technologies and other offerings to be over $19 billion, based on the twelve months ended February 2026 revenue from public filings of leading diabetes device manufacturers as identified by Seagrove Partners. We currently utilize a dual-channel approach in the United States where we distribute the majority of our products through the DME channel and only a small percentage of our products through the pharmacy channel, whereas our market estimate includes companies that have broad coverage in the pharmacy channel. Our market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate above 10% from 2026 through at least 2030, according to Seagrove Partners’ March 2026 market model, driven by the adoption of advanced diabetes management technologies, like ours, which are currently underpenetrated in the market. The primary medical specialists who use and/or prescribe our products are endocrinologists, diabetologists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and PCPs.
Our platform of simple and clinically effective solutions for PWD requiring insulin therapy includes:
•Automated Insulin Delivery (AID) Systems: Integrated solutions for glucose sensing and automated insulin dosing and administration, delivering superior glycemic control. Our system is composed of an insulin pump that administers insulin, consumable insulin infusion sets and reservoirs, a CGM sensor that measures blood glucose levels, and a Smart Dosing algorithm that is designed to mimic how a healthy pancreas works. In our AID system, real-time CGM readings inform our Smart Dosing algorithm, which provides automatic adjustments and corrections to insulin pump dosing every five minutes based on target blood glucose settings and Meal Detection technology. This algorithm automatically informs insulin administration and wraparound applications, software, and services for users, caregivers, and HCPs, allowing users and caregivers to track and control their treatment through compatible smartphone applications. Our AID systems include our second-generation MiniMed 780G system, as well as our older MiniMed 770G, MiniMed 740G, MiniMed 720G, and MiniMed 630G systems.
•Smart Multiple Daily Injection (MDI) System: For those who prefer to self-administer insulin by manual injections or seek freedom from on-body devices, Smart MDI systems offer an integrated solution for sensing, dosing, and administration. Our Smart MDI system, called the MiniMed Go system, includes InPen (our Smart Insulin Pen for insulin administration), a CGM sensor that measures blood glucose levels, and wraparound applications and services. Our Bluetooth-enabled smart insulin pens connect with our Smart Dosing software and intuitive mobile app, which can track and personalize insulin dosing suggestions based on CGM sensor readings, including suggestions for mealtime and correction doses.

We are the first company to commercialize all the constituent parts of these advanced solutions for diabetes therapy. We believe that other players in our market specialize in CGM sensors or insulin pumps and dosing algorithms, and therefore need to establish strategic partnerships and share data in order to offer Smart Dosing solutions. We believe that our presence in all parts of the Smart Dosing ecosystem is a significant advantage over our competitors because it can result in a more effective user experience, relieving some of the burdens of existing diabetes technology. Additionally, our data advantage in having both CGM and insulin data allows us to be more effective in developing high-quality products that drive better clinical outcomes, especially in the iterative, data-rich development of insulin dosing algorithms.
Our products deliver differentiated clinical efficacy and customer satisfaction. We believe our solutions have demonstrated superiority over the current standard of care of administering insulin through MDI manually with only standalone blood glucose monitoring or CGM sensor. An analysis of real-world evidence from a global dataset of approximately 400,000 users demonstrated that 80% of MiniMed 780G real-world optimized settings (“ROS”) users (16% of all users were ROS users), and 61% of all MiniMed 780G users, achieved greater than 70% time in range (“TIR”). In a randomized controlled study, MiniMed 780G showed a clinically significant 1.4% absolute improvement in A1C as compared to the current standard of care as described above.
A 2025 meta-analysis of competing system real world evidence and a 2026 meta-analysis of competing system published RCTs showed that our MiniMed 780G systems outperformed against other competing products on TIR. We believe meta-analyses and comparisons of published real-world data are robust and valid ways to compare the glycemic outcomes of our devices with those of third-party devices. Peer-reviewed meta-analyses with broad acceptance criteria and analyses like random-effects frequentist network meta-analyses provide results with confidence intervals and offer robust statistical conclusions supporting comparison of devices using available clinical trial data. Further, large bodies of real-world evidence offer a strong means of mitigating these biases and normalizing many of the specific clinical and demographic variables that exist in the real-world use of AID systems.
While meta-analysis can provide valuable insights by aggregating data from multiple studies, this approach has inherent limitations. The methodology relies on indirect comparisons, which may introduce biases due to variations in study design, populations, and analytical approaches. Without direct comparative trials, differences in outcomes between interventions may not be adequately assessed, leading to potential uncertainties in the interpretation of results. Accordingly, investors should exercise caution when considering findings derived from meta-analysis as conclusive evidence.
Direct head-to-head clinical studies have not been conducted comparing modern AID systems at this time. Additionally, individual device clinical studies often offer small sample sizes with potential for investigator selection bias, volunteer bias on the part of the participant, and attention bias given the close follow-up during the trial. These biases, which are inherent in industry-sponsored trials, may result in a best-case scenario or non-representative outcome.
We believe our clinical performance is driven by our advanced SmartGuard dosing algorithms, which safely and automatically adjust insulin pump dosing every five minutes. We now offer multiple CGM sensor options — including Simplera Sync, Instinct, and GuardianTM sensors — compatible with our AID system, with clinical studies demonstrating clinically equivalent glycemic outcomes across sensors, underscoring the consistent performance of our algorithm-driven system. An international group of experts in diabetes technology convened prior to the 2025 ATTD Congress and recommended establishing a tighter glycemic goal referred to as time in tight range (TITR). The goal for the percent of time that PWD should be in that range was targeted to be >55%. The reason that there is a movement to tighten the recommendation is that 70-140 mg/dL range is close to “normal,” i.e., where glucose for people without diabetes resides 96% of the time. As of fiscal year 2025, which ended April 25, 2025, the MiniMed 780G is the only system on the market with published data on TITR showing >55% in children and adult ROS users (5.4% of children and 5.3% of adult users were ROS users), and TITR showing >48% in all children and all adults. Because it is a new guideline, TITR has not been consistently reported or addressed in studies assessing the performance of competing systems and therapies. Therefore, we have concluded that the MiniMed 780G is the only system on the market with published data on TITR showing >55% in children and adults using the recommended settings when excluding analyses of highest-performing quartiles of users.
In terms of user experience, the MiniMed 780G has maintained the number one pump satisfaction in the United States since Q2 2024, according to pump satisfaction survey results from dQ&A’s Q4 2025 U.S. Diabetes Patient Voice report. Our leading clinical and user performance has earned our status as a recognized and trusted brand in the diabetes space.
We continue to build on this position by developing innovative diabetes technologies that improve treatment and relieve burdens for PWD. Our global research and development function is focused on a number of priorities. We continue to execute on launches of our second-generation AID systems, beginning with the EU launch of our Simplera Sync CGM sensor in 2024. In the United States, we launched Simplera Sync in September 2025 and Instinct CGM sensor, made by Abbott Diabetes Care, Inc. (“Abbott”), in December 2025. We received CE Mark for the MiniMed 780G system with Instinct in February 2026 and plan to launch in the summer of 2026.
5
Our third-generation AID systems are designed to utilize each of these sensors. They include our smaller MiniMed Flex insulin pump, which received FDA clearance in March 2026 and launched in the U.S. in June 2026. We submitted MiniMed Flex for CE Mark approval in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026. They also include our MiniMed Fit patch pump with extended wear, which we aim to submit for U.S. FDA approval by fall of calendar year 2026, with CE Mark submission thereafter. Bringing together these important hardware improvements is our next-generation Vivera dosing algorithm, which is currently in pivotal trials and is designed to dramatically reduce user intervention for meal bolusing. With these innovations, we believe we are poised to extend our category leadership, driving toward a future where diabetes management can be “hands free” with simple, highly effective insulin dosing technology that safely and reliably delivers appropriate insulin doses and achieves glycemic targets for most users.
We operate a scaled global commercial and manufacturing organization with our corporate headquarters in Northridge, California. We are led by a world-class senior management team and global employee base with a reputation for innovation and culture of accountability. Our commercial organization maintains relationships with thousands of prescribing HCPs globally, while coordinating our sales process from demand generation and marketing through fulfillment and renewals in the markets where we operate. Our AI-enabled sales force is powered by software such as our proprietary MiniMed IQ, which provides real-time physician landscape insights nationwide and optimizes our account targeting strategy, and third-party tools, which optimize our lead generation strategies and enhance our sales forecasting with predictive analytics. We operate two main manufacturing facilities in California and Puerto Rico, which serve as the backbone of our global operations, covering our manufacturing, distribution, and sourcing functions. We have built up a large base of intellectual property, with over 2,000 patents and patent applications across our markets as of May 2026.
In fiscal year 2026 and in fiscal year 2025, we generated $3.1 billion and $2.7 billion in revenue, respectively, of which approximately 82% and 80% came from sales of CGMs, other consumables, software, and services. We believe we are unmatched in our global presence among our key competitors, with outside the U.S. (“OUS”) revenue representing approximately 70% and 67% of our total revenue in fiscal year 2026 and in fiscal year 2025, respectively. We are a global leader in insulin pumps by users according to Seagrove Partners’ March 2026 GlobeVIEW Scoreboard, servicing pump users in over 80 countries as of April 2026. In fiscal year 2026, we recorded a net loss of $317 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $202 million. In fiscal year 2025, we recorded a net loss of $198 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $253 million. Our net loss represented 10% of our revenue and our Adjusted EBITDA represented 6% of our revenue during fiscal year 2026. Our net loss represented 7% of our revenue and our Adjusted EBITDA represented 9% of our revenue during fiscal year 2025. We aim to achieve profitable growth with our strategy.

Our History
For over four decades, we have shaped the evolution of diabetes management, turning bold ideas into life-changing innovations. From the first insulin pumps to today’s AID systems, we have consistently led the way, transforming the lives of patients living with diabetes. Our mission-focused team continues to build on this rich heritage as we develop the next generation of diabetes technology.
Pioneering the First Portable Insulin Pumps (1980s)
In the early 1980s, diabetes management was a daily struggle of multiple daily injections, unpredictable blood sugar levels, and constant vigilance. This was when Alfred E. Mann, a medical device pioneer and biotech entrepreneur, founded MiniMed with the introduction of the MiniMed 502 insulin pump. MiniMed’s early insulin pumps offered continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII), enabling improved blood sugar control. These pumps were smaller and more wearable compared to earlier, bulky designs. These early developments provided patients with an additional category of therapy options, enabling more freedom and flexibility in diabetes management. These pumps would lay the foundation for decades of new technology generations, through today’s more sophisticated AID systems.
Advancing Insulin Delivery with Smarter Technology (1990s)
In the years that followed, MiniMed introduced a redesigned pump model that was more accurate and programmable, allowing users to adjust basal (background) and bolus (mealtime) insulin. The MiniMed 507 and 508 pumps were among the most advanced of their time, featuring customizable dosing and safety alarms. These new pump models delivered clinical improvements for users, including reduced hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and improved long-term glucose control.
6
Introducing Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) (Late 1990s – Early 2000s)
MiniMed launched the first CGM system in 1999. This was a breakthrough in diabetes care, helping patients understand how food, activity, and insulin affected their blood sugar, and helping HCPs determine appropriate therapy recommendations. Today, CGM has become a standard tool in diabetes management, reducing the risk of severe high and low glycemic episodes. On the back of this landmark innovation, Medtronic acquired MiniMed Inc. in 2001.
Sensor-Augmented Pumps (Early 2000s – 2016)
As a part of Medtronic, we have continued to develop groundbreaking technologies toward a long-term vision of full automation for people to manage their diabetes. As HCPs and their patients became more comfortable with CGM technology, we developed sensor-augmented pumps. In 2006, the MiniMed Paradigm REAL-time System became the first U.S. FDA-approved integrated diabetes management system, which allowed users to connect their CGM to their pump to deliver data live. Our pump systems during this period continued to introduce improvements in connectivity and automated capabilities, such as the MiniMed Veo launched in 2009, which was the world’s first pump with low glucose insulin delivery suspension capability—a foundational innovation in pump safety. In 2012, we introduced the mySentry, the first remote glucose monitor, allowing a parent or caregiver to monitor a patient’s system from another room. These sensor-augmented pumps each represented a major step towards the development of eventual AID systems for PWD.
The Dream of the Artificial Pancreas (2016 – Present)
In 2016, our landmark innovation of the MiniMed 670G system introduced the world’s first commercially available hybrid closed-loop system for T1D that automatically adjusts insulin dosing in real-time based on CGM readings and our sophisticated SmartGuard dosing algorithm. Combined with our SmartGuard dosing algorithm and Guardian CGM sensor, this introduction was our first-generation AID system. During this period, we also continued to introduce improvements across our broader solution ecosystem, including our CareLink therapy management software solutions, infusion sets and reservoirs, and Smart MDI system with InPen.
Today, we have fully commercialized our second-generation advanced hybrid closed-loop system, the MiniMed 780G, our most advanced insulin pump system. Combined with the next-generation Simplera Sync and Instinct CGM sensors, we believe our system represents the closest technology available to an artificial pancreas, adjusting insulin automatically with limited manual intervention to make diabetes management easier, safer, and more effective.
As our technology has progressed, we have been able to deliver superior outcomes for PWD while decreasing the burden of disease management. Our systems have become increasingly automated, requiring less manual interaction by the user. The exhibit below demonstrates that users are able to achieve significantly improved TIR, corresponding to meaningful improvements in health outcomes.
7
The MiniMed brand remains strong, representing decades of life-changing innovation for PWD. We strive to continue to build on our legacy of innovation and remain committed to our goal of continuing to raise the bar for clinical performance with simple, easy-to-use solutions that relieve burdens for our customers.

Overview of Diabetes
Diabetes is a chronic, lifelong condition characterized by the body’s inability to produce or effectively use insulin, a hormone essential for regulating blood glucose levels. There is no known cure, making proper management critical to avoid serious health complications.
Diabetes is typically classified into two major groups:
•Type 1 diabetes (“T1D”) is an autoimmune condition which causes the body to attack insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. It is typically diagnosed in childhood or early adulthood. Since people with T1D are living longer than ever, the majority of people with T1D are adults. Individuals with T1D require daily insulin administration, or intensive insulin therapy, to manage their health.
•Type 2 diabetes (“T2D”) is a metabolic condition that results from insulin resistance, where the body’s cells do not respond effectively to insulin, often accompanied by reduced insulin production over time. It is strongly associated with lifestyle factors, such as obesity, inactivity, and diet, although genetics also play a role. In some cases, T2D can be managed with changes to diet and exercise regimes; however, if the condition progresses, more active management such as insulin therapy may become necessary.
Prevalence and Global Impact
Diabetes is a widespread global epidemic that impacts a large and growing population. According to the 2025 IDF Diabetes Atlas, an estimated 589 million people are living with diabetes worldwide, and that is expected to grow to more than 850 million by 2050.
8
The disease continues to be a major cause of mortality and morbidity, profoundly damaging the health and quality of life of people living with the disease. According to the 2025 IDF Diabetes Atlas, diabetes caused over 3.4 million deaths in 2024, corresponding to one death from diabetes every nine seconds, or 9.3% of global deaths from all causes. Poor diabetes treatment leads directly to other conditions, including as blindness, kidney failure, and cardiovascular disease. Diabetes is a leading worldwide global cause of kidney disease, blindness, and vision impairment in adults according to the NIH and the WHO.
Diabetes Management
Despite the health challenge that diabetes represents, treatments are available. When these tools are utilized effectively, PWD can make a significant difference in their health outcomes. We believe developing technology solutions that provide strong glycemic control and reduce the human burdens of the disease is a health imperative.
The landscape of diabetes medical technology for people with T1D and T2D includes a range of diagnostic and insulin therapy options. A subset of PWD, including all with T1D and some with T2D, require daily background (basal) and multiple mealtime (bolus) insulin infusion to regulate blood sugars. The primary dosing therapies utilized by this insulin-dependent population are insulin injections and insulin pumps, both of which are designed to supplement or replace the insulin-producing function of the pancreas. Insulin injections are often referred to as multiple daily injections, or MDI, and involve the person’s use of syringes or insulin pens to inject insulin into the body. Insulin pumps, developed in the last few decades, are a significant medical advancement over MDI where a programmed device with an infusion set administers insulin into a person’s body. To measure glucose levels, a large number of T1D patients in developed markets still use SMBG devices. SMBG involves utilizing a lancing device to draw a blood sample for a one-time reading with a BGM. In more developed markets, PWD have adopted CGMs, which are composed of a wearable sensor that continuously transmits glucose readings to a receiver or compatible display. Several device manufacturers, including us, have combined the insulin pump with a CGM and an algorithm to create an AID system, where the algorithm will read the glucose level via the CGM and automatically deliver the insulin to the user. AID systems, and our offerings in particular, have been proven to outperform MDI and other treatment options on key measures of glycemic control. For various reasons, PWD sometimes like to switch between these different therapy options. For example, sometimes users using AID will take a “pump holiday” and temporarily utilize MDI, such as due to a temporary individual lifestyle change like a vacation or business trip.
Conventional treatment options like MDI can be a burden on the quality of life for PWD. First, these options fail to deliver what we consider to be acceptable clinical outcomes. Second, these options require significant effort from users, meaning PWD have to deal with 24/7 administrative, physical, mental, and emotional burdens.
Outcomes: Although treatment options are generally widespread, a significant portion of insulin-dependent PWD are not achieving clinically recommended levels of glycemic control. Even in developed markets, aggregated mean A1C was 7.6% - significantly above the target of A1C less than 7% and the proportion of participants who had achieved A1C targets of less than 7% (<53 mmol/mol) was only 38.8%, albeit increased from 19.0% to (p<0·0001) from 2013 to 2022. (Zimmerman AT et al. Treatment regimens and glycaemic outcomes in more than 100 000 children with type 1 diabetes (2013-22): a longitudinal analysis of data from paediatric diabetes registries. Lancet Diab Endo 2025 Jan;13(1):47-56.) Burdens: Current options require constant monitoring, decision-making, and interventions by PWD and their families, leading to administrative, physical, mental, and emotional burdens. Examples of administrative burdens include carrying around supplies (glucose tabs, juice or snacks, back-up insulin, needles, lancets, spare sensors, pump supplies, batteries, etc.), reordering supplies, obtaining documentation for travel, going through secondary screenings with airport security, handling insurance, obtaining prior authorizations, and refilling prescriptions, among others. Physical burdens include fluctuating glucose levels (which may cause lethargy, difficulty in focusing, and/or frequent urination), having to eat when not hungry (to correct lows) or delaying meals (to wait for insulin to act), body image concerns (especially among teens and young adults), skin irritation or allergic reactions to adhesives, constant beeping/alerts (especially overnight, disrupting sleep), finger pricks (in the case of SMBG), scar tissue, and wearing bulky and/or uncomfortable devices. Emotional burdens result from fear of going low while driving, during meetings, or during solo travel, burnout/fatigue from never being “off duty,” and PWD and their families worrying about unexpected episodes of severe hypoglycemia leading to the need for assistance, seizure or coma, and/or severe hyperglycemia that can lead to life-threatening ketoacidosis requiring hospitalization.
Addressing these challenges is key for the success of our offerings. We do not believe a cure to diabetes is imminent, nor do we believe that cell therapies or GLP-1s represent a realistic solution for the large global population of people requiring intensive insulin treatment. Studies show that both cell therapies and GLP-1s have been proven to be less cost-effective than AID systems, and still require access to treatments like AID or MDI as a backup matter. Cell therapies for T1D require costly drugs to suppress immune response. GLP-1 treatments for T2D patients requiring intensive insulin treatment may still require the use of glycemic management tools such as AID or MDI for most individuals. As of April 2025, the incremental cost-effective ratio (“ICER”) for the MiniMed 780G system, an AID, is $68,402 per QALY over four years and $38,842 per QALY over a lifetime horizon, which is below the common willingness-to-pay threshold of $100,000 per QALY. For cell therapy (e.g., stem cell-derived), the ICER is $93,240 per QALY over 20 years. There is no cost-effectiveness data for people with T1D using GLP-1s because GLP-1s are only indicated for people with T2D.
9
Though GLP-1s may reduce the total amount of insulin required for people with T1D or T2D because of decreased food intake and reduced insulin resistance as a result of weight loss, their effect on increasing pancreatic insulin secretion is only seen in those with T2D, because those with T1D have no ability to produce insulin.
We expect the use of GLP-1s by people with T1D will have an immaterial impact on our results of operations because the requirement of frequent adjustments to insulin can only be provided by insulin therapy. We expect that GLP-1s may reduce the number of people with T2D who require intensification of their therapy, but this is partially offset by the fact that some people with T2D physiologically resemble those with T1D and our patients with T2D have been generally those that are insulin dependent. It is possible, however, that GLP-1s could lead to a reduction in the increase of the population of people with T2D requiring intensive insulin therapy in the future, although this effect may be partially offset by the increasing worldwide prevalence of T2D.
Our Addressable Market
The primary addressable market for our solutions includes people with T1D and T2D who require intensive insulin therapy, as well as people with T2D requiring basal insulin titration. In total, we define this addressable market as the market for insulin-taking individuals. This population requires a combination of CGM or BGM and insulin pumps or MDI.
This is our primary market and our core focus because it represents the population of PWD who most value and utilize the technology we provide. Although smaller than other segments of the broader diabetes market by population size, we believe our primary addressable market has the highest utilization of diabetes management solutions and advanced technology and is the most likely to have reimbursement coverage in developed markets. This is because the patients in our addressable market lack natural ability to produce sufficient insulin levels on their own and thus have the strongest clinical need for insulin therapy to enable the prevention and reduction of life-threatening complications that can occur from insufficient insulin levels (which in turn is essential for reducing overall long-term costs to the healthcare system).
We provide all elements of Smart Dosing solutions, inclusive of smart insulin pumps, CGMs, other consumables, our SmartGuard algorithm and dosing software, and our smart pen. Our competitors focus more on component and subsystem solutions, specializing either in standalone CGM sensors or pumps and dosing software. To offer AID solutions, most players in our space partner to make their technologies specifically compatible with one another, versus selling technologies in one integrated ecosystem. We believe our integrated approach simplifies and accelerates our product development process and improves our ability to develop effective dosing algorithm solutions for people that use our products.
Worldwide, according to Seagrove Partners’ March 2026 market model, it has been estimated that there are over 30 million PWD requiring intensive insulin therapy, with approximately ten million people in the top developed markets with the largest diabetes populations, including the United States, Canada, Australia, Japan, and major countries in Western Europe. Seagrove Partners also estimated that there are approximately 33 million additional people with T2D who require basal insulin, with approximately nine million people in the top developed markets with the largest diabetes populations, including the United States, Canada, Australia, Japan, and major countries in Western Europe. In total, we estimate the current market for our diabetes technologies and other offerings to be over $19 billion, based on last twelve months ended February 2026 revenue from public filings of leading diabetes device manufacturers as identified by Seagrove Partners. Currently, we utilize a dual-channel approach in the United States where we distribute the majority of our products through the DME channel and only a small percentage of our products through the pharmacy channel, whereas our market estimate includes companies that have broad coverage in the pharmacy channel. We expect this market size will continue to grow due to increasing adoption of advanced diabetes management technologies, like ours, which are currently underpenetrated in the market. The MiniMed 780G system is approved for use by people with T1D and insulin-requiring T2D in the United States and EU.
Secular Growth Drivers
Our addressable market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate above 10% from 2026 through at least 2030, according to Seagrove Partners’ March 2026 market model. In particular, the number of pump users is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of roughly ~10% from 2026 through 2030 in OUS developed markets (defined to include Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, and major countries in western Europe) and at 9% from 2026 through 2030 in OUS developing markets (defined as all markets other than the United States and OUS developed markets). Our total addressable market exhibits many of the same secular growth drivers as the broader disease population, including prevalence of Western diets and healthcare development in emerging markets.
We may expand our addressable market population in the future to include non-insulin-dependent T2D populations and/or pre-diabetic populations focused on prevention and wellness. These groups represent an opportunity for innovative solutions like CGMs, digital health tools, and behavioral coaching to serve their needs.
10
Growth Opportunity for Advanced Technologies
We believe the main driver of our market’s expected rate of growth is increased penetration of Smart Dosing solutions, such as AID, over traditional therapies like unconnected MDI or standalone CGMs. Smart Dosing solutions integrate accurate, real-time blood glucose measurements with technology automation applications, like AID and Smart MDI (software-connected injection device systems), enhanced with advanced dosing software and algorithms. Smart Dosing technologies, particularly AID, are designed to provide an “artificial pancreas” solution that dramatically simplifies diabetes management and insulin therapy for PWD. They are becoming the gold standard of care in our space because of their proven ability to improve clinical outcomes and reduce user burden.
The global community is taking notice of the improvement from using AID systems compared to conventional treatment, with organizations worldwide increasingly recommending AID as a first-line therapy. For example, the ADA recommends that AID systems should be offered to youth and adults with T1D early, even at diagnosis. Additionally, the ATTD consensus report recommends AID systems should be considered for all people with T1D, especially those with suboptimal glycemia, problematic hypoglycemia, and/or significant glycemic variability. It also recommends that all payors should cover AID systems along with initial and ongoing training and education for people with T1D. Lastly, ISPAD clinical practice consensus guidelines have stated that AID systems improve TIR by minimizing hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia, are especially beneficial in attaining targeted glycemia in the overnight period, and are strongly recommended for youth with diabetes. These technologies continue to improve as well, with innovations like more simplified pump systems, easy-to-use CGMs, and AID algorithms, according to Seagrove Partners’ March 2026 market model.
Despite clinical effectiveness and evidence of Smart Dosing solutions, there is a significant opportunity for further adoption in our market. Today in the United States, where advanced insulin delivery options are widely available, most PWD with intensive insulin needs are not using Smart Dosing solutions. According to Seagrove Partners’ March 2026 market model, in the United States approximately 45% of T1D patients (approximately 1 million out of 2.2 million in total) and less than 15% of insulin-requiring T2D patients (approximately 270,000 out of 1.9 million in total) use pump systems such as AID, and approximately 31% of PWD with intensive insulin needs in the United States are using pump systems such as AID. By disease type, the vast majority of PWD who are using Smart Dosing solutions are people with T1D whereas the penetration of Smart Dosing solutions among people with T2D is very low according to Seagrove Partners’ March 2026 market model.
11
According to the same market model, most PWD taking insulin in OUS developed markets utilize a standalone CGM with MDI that is not connected to their insulin dosing solution. Similar to the United States, most PWD with intensive insulin needs in developed markets are not using Smart Dosing solutions. Specifically, over 25% of T1D patients (approximately 900,000 out of 3.2 million in total) and over 5% of insulin-requiring T2D patients (approximately 200,000 out of 3.1 million in total) use AID systems in these OUS developed markets. Emerging markets show even less penetration of advanced technologies: less than 5% of T1D patients (approximately 300,000 out of 13.0 million in total) and less than 5% of insulin-requiring T2D patients (approximately 170,000 out of 14.0 million in total) use AID systems in OUS developing markets. The implication is that the vast majority of PWD today rely on manual, error-prone, and burdensome methods of estimating, calculating, and dosing their daily insulin. There are over 30 million patients currently on MDI that could benefit from AID in the future, according to Seagrove Partners’ March 2026 market model.
We believe that the adoption of Smart Dosing technologies has room for growth. While some existing products may be seen as complex, costly, and not meaningfully more effective than alternatives, this opens the door for innovation to enhance these technologies in ways to better serve PWD and HCPs who prescribe these devices. For example, current AID systems on the market still require manual meal announcements, requiring PWD to estimate carbohydrates, be proficient at using technology or require physicians to make many adjustments to device settings, and attend to administrative diabetes management tasks—there is potential for a more intuitive, “hands-free” experience. Moreover, in the United States, some of the providers who treat this population are PCPs, not diabetes specialists. These PCPs often do not have the specialty knowledge, resources, or bandwidth to prescribe complex devices. This presents an opportunity to simplify these solutions, making them more accessible and easier to prescribe, ultimately enhancing support for both PWD and HCPs.
The key to driving adoption of Smart Dosing solutions is to offer users and prescribing physicians technology options that are not only clinically superior but also easily accessible, simple, cost-effective, and user-friendly. With advanced technologies to offer, organizations like ours focus on closing education gaps among HCPs and PWD who are less familiar with new technologies. In doing so, we believe companies like ours have the potential to overcome perception barriers around clinical performance and technology simplicity.
Other Structural Characteristics of the Diabetes Industry
•Regulatory Complexity and Clinical Quality: The regulatory standards in the markets for our products set a relatively high bar for approval in terms of performance, safety, and quality. In addition, timelines for U.S. FDA and CE Mark approvals for diabetes devices and technology can be extended, which requires a significant level of sophistication and investment that smaller new entrants often lack. Larger established players like us are generally more capable in navigating these regulatory hurdles, delivering and exceeding high clinical standards, executing clinical studies, and investing in the significant cost required.
•Technological Requirements: Developing and manufacturing advanced diabetes management systems require significant R&D investment and a multidisciplinary mix of technical and clinical expertise. To succeed in our industry requires capabilities across electrochemical, mechanical, electric, biomedical, and software engineering; algorithm development, AI, and data science; hardware design; and consumer-facing electronics experience. Our market is characterized by rapid change and advances in new generations of technologies, requiring ongoing investment in R&D activities.
•Intellectual Property: We and the competitors in our industry maintain significant intellectual property and defend against infringements, misappropriations, or violations vigorously.
•Requires Scale: Some players in our space do not achieve profitability because they lack the required revenue scale, commercial reach, and manufacturing capacity. We have built a scaled manufacturing base that provides substantial operating leverage as we grow. We have produced over five million insulin pumps since 2001.
•Customer Service and Support: Competing in our industry requires a significant customer support operation to interact with both medical professionals and users. In addition, fragmented ecosystems from our competitors (e.g., multiple customer service phone lines) can confuse users and providers about whom to contact for system technical support or troubleshooting. Our integrated system approach provides a single point of contact, enhancing the customer experience.

The MiniMed 780G is our flagship AID system, which we believe most closely mimics how a healthy pancreas functions compared to other options available on the market today. Using our Meal Detection technology, it automatically adjusts and corrects every five minutes, providing as much insulin as needed, and exceeding the internationally recommended clinical outcomes for most patients. We were the first player to commercialize a complete AID system, comprised of an insulin pump, advanced dosing algorithm, CGM sensor, infusion set, and insulin reservoir.
The MiniMed 780G system has provided unparalleled clinical outcomes and is easy to use for PWD, caregivers, and healthcare teams. A person with diabetes using the system simply glances at his/her glucose and estimates carbohydrates a few times per day and the system does the rest. If the user forgets to enter his/her carbohydrates, the system’s patented Meal Detection technology automatically corrects glucose without alerting the user or requiring any effort from the user. Minimal to no action is required by caregivers because the system takes care of background and bolus insulin as needed. If desired, they may follow remotely with the CareLink Connect App. Finally, the MiniMed 780G system requires very little set-up/follow-up for healthcare teams. There are only three settings which impact insulin delivery when using automation and few, if any, changes are needed to the settings after system initiation. Moreover, the MiniMed 780G system with a seven-day-wear infusion set (based on maximum potential wear time as described in the 780G user guide) and 15-day Instinct CGM is designed to require only six injections per month, compared to as many as an estimated 12 to 18 injections per month for users when using competing AID systems from Tandem (for example, based on labeling of Tandem’s insulin pump infusion sets for up to three days of wear and Dexcom’s G7 CGM for up to 15 days of wear) and Insulet (for example, based on labeling of Insulet’s Omnipod 5 patch pump for up to three days of wear and Dexcom’s G6 CGM for up to ten days of wear, as well as data demonstrating that many pump users use an average total daily dose of insulin that exceeds the maximum total daily dose required to make three-day wear with Omnipod 5’s 200-unit reservoir possible). We believe the 780G system is not only simple for PWD, their caregivers, and their healthcare team, it also delivers unmatched clinical outcomes, helping PWD live healthier and easier lives.
The MiniMed 780G system consists of the following components:
The MiniMed 780G insulin pump is our second-generation insulin pump, offering enhanced functionality and technological integration with other components of our 780G system. It features a low glucose target setting (as low as 100 mg/dL) that closely mirrors the average glucose of someone not living with diabetes. With this setting, the pump will “treat to target” and will automatically and safely deliver basal insulin adjustments and autocorrections to a set target. The pump does not need to be left to charge, as the user simply needs to replace the AA batteries whenever necessary. Additionally, the pump features a companion mobile app that makes it easy for users to discreetly monitor their glucose levels and insulin pump data, receive notifications, and automatically upload data to the CareLink cloud. The product received CE Mark approval in June 2020 and U.S. FDA approval in April 2023.
The Simplera Sync CGM sensor is an easy-to-use, two-step insertion sensor that is fully disposable, worn on the arm, and can last for up to seven days of continuous sensor readings. It is small and able to be worn discreetly, engineered to comfortably withstand normal daily activity without coming off. Usage and insertion are easy, and the product requires no calibration. The Simplera Sync CGM sensor received CE Mark approval in September 2023 and U.S. FDA approval in April 2025. We believe the improved design and ease of use of Simplera Sync will help accelerate penetration of the 780G system.
The Instinct sensor is an alternative CGM sensor based on Abbott’s most advanced single-analyte CGM technology. Instinct features easy one-handed insertion, small and discreet wear, 15-day wear time, one hour warm-up, and no overtape. The MiniMed 780G system is designed to ensure seamless integration with Instinct. The MiniMed 780G received U.S. FDA clearance as an ACE pump in July 2025, and our SmartGuard algorithm received U.S. FDA clearance as an iAGC in September 2025. We also received CE Mark approval in March 2026.
15
The MiniMed 780G system uses our SmartGuard dosing algorithm technology, which automatically delivers basal insulin and auto-correction doses every five minutes based on sensor glucose readings. Additionally, every night the algorithm updates to adapt to ongoing changes in user behavior patterns. Compared to other systems, SmartGuard technology is able to dose more insulin safely, early, and often when sensor glucose is trending to higher levels to avoid hyperglycemia without increasing the risk of lows. Up to 288 automatic adjustments can be made on a daily basis. With our Meal Detection technology, the system also uses current and past sugar trends to detect a missed meal dose. When a user forgets to bolus, if the system detects a meal based on the rapid rise in sugar levels, it will automatically deliver correction doses while sugar levels are rising, up to every five minutes, to help bring the user back to target.
As part of the MiniMed 780G system, we offer a broad portfolio of infusion sets and reservoirs available to match different patient body types and lifestyle needs. Our latest model is the MiniMed Extended Infusion set, which was the first commercialized infusion set to last up to seven days. This long-wear system eases the burden on PWD, allowing for fewer set changes and decreasing the burden of finding new infusion sites on their body. This set complements our Simplera Sync sensor, as users can replace them at the same weekly cadence. In addition to this model, we offer additional products to meet the diverse needs of PWD. For those with needle anxiety, we offer the MiniMed Mio Advance infusion set with an all-in-one insertion design. For those with allergies, we offer the MiniMed Sure-T infusion set, which uses a steel needle rather than a cannula.
The MiniMed 780G system has demonstrated the ability to significantly reduce burdens and improve outcomes relative to other treatment options available today, earning the highest satisfaction ratings among AID systems according to pump satisfaction survey results from dQ&A’s Q2 2025 U.S. Diabetes Patient Voice report, and has proven to reduce effort required for many patients and result in a higher quality of life. Additionally, the system has delivered superior outcomes for diverse populations, including high-risk adolescents, the technology naive, and patients new to insulin pump therapy.
In the United States, the MiniMed 780G system is indicated for use by T1D patients seven years of age and older and insulin-requiring T2D patients 18 years of age and older. In the EU, the MiniMed 780G system is indicated for use by T1D and insulin-requiring T2D patients two years of age and older, as well as pregnant women. As of October 2025, we have more than 640,000 customers in over 80 countries on the system. We also offer compatibility with our MiniMed Guardian 4 sensor, Simplera Sync, and major smartwatch platforms. The MiniMed 780G system is intended for use with rapid-acting U-100 insulins (Admelog, Humalog, and NovoLog) and ultra-rapid-acting U-100 insulins (Fiasp and Lyumjev) in the United States and EU. In addition to the MiniMed 780G system, we offer prior versions of our AID system including MiniMed 770G, MiniMed 740G, and MiniMed 720G in select markets based on access and market need, which all have a connected CGM and smartphone compatibility.

MiniMed Flex Pump
MiniMed Flex is our next-generation tubed insulin pump for PWD. The MiniMed Flex was cleared by the U.S. FDA in March 2026, and we launched it in the U.S. in June 2026. With its reduced size, sleek design, seven-day-wear infusion set, and smartphone control, we believe MiniMed Flex offers superior benefits:
•Improved hardware experience and design: Compared to other insulin pumps on the market, we expect that MiniMed Flex will offer leading infusion set lifespan and insulin capacity, with a 300-unit reservoir. It is our first screenless rechargeable pump, expected to only require a 30-minute charge every seven days. In addition, it is 50% the size of the current MiniMed 780G and will have a more modern interface for the user.
•Simplified app experience: The Flex Pump is designed to be fully controlled by a mobile app, allowing PWD to bolus, change settings, and silence alarms directly from their phones. A dedicated controller is available for those who do not have access to or prefer not to use their own phone.
•Access to best-in-class algorithm: Flex Pump’s advanced control algorithm is expected to provide market-leading TIR performance.

MiniMed Go Smart MDI
We are progressing several enhancements to our Smart MDI system with our next-generation MiniMed Go system. MiniMed Go is our next-generation Smart MDI system and includes a simple, self-start smart insulin pen; a single, fully integrated app; and full integration with Simplera Sync and Instinct CGMs. The MiniMed Go app has received U.S. FDA clearance and CE Mark approval, and we launched the product in the U.S. in May 2026.
MiniMed Go is focused on enhancing and simplifying the user experience by providing proactive and predictive dosing recommendations, automating glucose level prediction in the background, and prompting the user to bolus or correct before he or she risks becoming hyperglycemic. We believe MiniMed Go will have the ability to deliver improved outcomes over CGM alone providing an option for those not interested in a pump. In the United States, we expect MiniMed Go to be distributed initially through the pharmacy channel. Studies have indicated that our Smart MDI system can deliver a 70.3% TIR and a 13% reduction in hypoglycemic events relative to baseline.
For patients who fear needle injections or desire a more comfortable injection experience, we also offer i-Port Advance, a three-day, simple-to-apply, and fully disposable injection port.
CareLink
CareLink is our software platform that provides support for PWD, their caretakers, and HCPs to help manage diabetes treatment. CareLink aggregates disease management data points, such as real-time CGM readings and insulin dosing logs, to generate actionable insights that can help improve health outcomes. Since the platform’s inception in 2006, we have continued to enhance its functionality with regular updates.
The CareLink patient dashboard improves efficiency by providing easy access to data to assess therapy management performance at a glance, displayed in a single, interactive view. This includes a 24-hour sensor glucose overview to show users how they are doing in managing their treatment and whether adjustments or changes need to be made. PWD, their caretakers, and HCPs can get updates on key performance indicators, tracking trends and changes in glucose, TIR, extreme glucose levels, and device usage. Using CareLink monitoring data, the My Insights program provides PWD with automated, personalized insights and encouragement, which we expect to incorporate as in-app nudges in upcoming CareLink development milestones. With the patient dashboard, providers can remotely monitor key data points for all their patients in one view, including TIR, insulin delivery, and device usage. This platform simplifies HCPs’ workflow, helping to prioritize which of their patients need the most support and facilitating more efficient allocation of time and resources to help HCPs run their practices more effectively.
Software Applications
To enable users to access their information with ease, we have several apps that allow users to view their information. The MiniMed Mobile app connects to a user’s pump and CGM, displaying information like their current sensor reading, insulin delivery information, and TIR. The CareLink Connect app allows family members, friends, or care partners to monitor users’ diabetes information in real time, allowing them to monitor outcomes and support PWD with their diabetes management.
Legacy Products
In certain markets and geographies, we continue to offer legacy versions of our products. Over time, we expect these legacy products will make up a smaller percentage of our revenue and user base.
Clinical / Real-World Evidence
Our commitment to PWD has always been to create a smarter and easier future for PWD, which has driven our organization to develop what we believe is currently the world’s best AID system, the MiniMed 780G. The 780G has consistently demonstrated superior glycemic control, clinical efficacy, and cost-effectiveness compared to other diabetes treatment options, including competing AID systems based on real-world data and literature meta-analyses. Additionally, the 780G’s ability to manage basal and bolus insulin delivery without any action required greatly eases the burden of managing diabetes.
Clinical Measurements of Blood Glucose Levels and Glycemic Control
Glycemic control has two widely accepted measures: TIR and A1C. TIR is a representation of blood glucose levels as measured by a CGM device, expressed as a percentage of time spent between 70 and 180 mg/dL, or 3.9 and 10.0 mmol/L. The target for TIR, based on ADA guidelines, is >70%. A1C is measured with a blood test and is a representation of the average blood sugar over the previous three months. The ADA recommendation for A1C is <7.0%, or 53 mmol/mol.
20
The 780G has Improved Glycemic Control versus the Current Standard of Care
The ADAPT study is the first multi-national randomized control study evaluating the performance of the 780G system versus standard of care (MDI + intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (“isCGM”)) in individuals with T1D who were poorly controlled (A1C of 9% at baseline) despite scanning their glucose levels at least five times per day. At six months of this study, A1C had decreased by around 1.54% to 7.32% for 780G users, compared to a decrease of around 0.2% to 8.91% for users of MDI + isCGM. The use of the 780G system in this study demonstrated the benefits in glycemic outcomes and users’ satisfaction beyond those that can be achieved with MDI + isCGM. Additionally, significantly more users on the 780G achieved the TIR and A1C targets than users on MDI + isCGM. This data supports providing access to our advanced hybrid closed-loop system in people with T1D who are not at target glucose levels. On average, participants using the MiniMed 780G system reported improved quality of life as measured in decreased social worry and diabetes worry, as well as increased treatment satisfaction, impact, and general well-being.
The 780G’s Superiority has been Further Supported by Real-World Evidence
Clinical trials in the safety/efficacy of diabetes devices are conducted in a relatively small cohort of participants, usually fewer than 500. There may be substantial selection bias involved in those people with T1D who volunteer or who are asked to volunteer. It is important to confirm the results of clinical trials with real-world evidence which often involves tens of thousands of users of a device which mitigates the likelihood of selection bias. The real-world data has confirmed the results seen in the 780G clinical trials. Real-world evidence from a global dataset of approximately 400,000 users demonstrated that the 780G can help improve outcomes for people living with T1D by safely achieving glycemic targets. Overall, 80% of MiniMed 780G ROS users (16% of all users were ROS users), and 61% of all MiniMed 780G users, achieved the combined glycemic targets of TIR above 70%, Time Below 70 mg/dL below 4%, and Time Below 54 mg/dL below 1%. Mean TIR was 77.5% and mean GMI was 6.8% for ROS users, and 72.1% and 7.0% for all users. GMI is a population-based estimate of A1C based on mean GCM glucose that is widely accepted as an indicator in the diabetes industry. The 780G also has consistent outcomes in diverse populations of users across age, gender, geography, and prior levels of glycemic control. In a published longitudinal study of real-world evidence collected from over 100,000 MiniMed 780G users across 34 countries in Europe, Middle East and Asia (“EMEA”), the glycemic outcome results were sustained over a 12-month observation period, which was the clinical endpoint of the analysis.
21
Proven real-world success in EMEA has also been replicated in the United States. Real-world data on more than 133,000 U.S. users as of May 2026 showed that TIR was 72.4% for all users and 77.6% for those using recommended SmartGuard settings with a glucose target of 100mg/dL and active insulin time of two hours.
The 780G’s Ease of Use Can Reduce the Burden of Managing Diabetes
The MiniMed 780G system has multiple advanced features which we believe reduces the burden of managing diabetes; this is further supported by clinical and real-world evidence.
Estimating carbohydrate intake is a significant burden for PWD while missed or late meal boluses have significant negative impact on glycemic outcomes and TIR. The 780G allows PWD to miss or be late to meal boluses, or misestimate their carbohydrate intake, and still achieve glycemic targets. The 780G’s five-minute auto-corrections compensate for these missed or late insulin doses. In addition, when PWD underestimate their carbohydrate intake, the 780G adjusts insulin delivery automatically to help improve outcomes.
Even without manual patient input, the MiniMed 780G system has been shown to enable users to achieve ADA clinical guidelines of TIR >70%. A recent real-world data analysis identified over 54,000 MiniMed 780G users with more than ten recorded days when these individuals did not deliver any user-initiated meal boluses. For those days without manual boluses, ROS users achieved a mean TIR of 76.3% (23.3% of all users were ROS users), and all users achieved a mean TIR of 70.9%. Both ROS and non-ROS users experienced minimal hypoglycemia (≤ 0.9% time below 70 mg/dL). This analysis demonstrates the robustness of the MiniMed 780G system in real-world use, highlighting its flexibility and ability to deliver outcomes even on days when user engagement is minimal.
With the lessened burden of managing diabetes, PWD experience improved quality of life. A French observational study spanning a period of 12 months with 270 participants who had been receiving continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion therapy showed that treatment satisfaction increased across age groups for PWD on the 780G, and quality of life, using the Diabetes Quality of Life (DQOL) instrument in adults, also improved. In addition, fear of hypoglycemia decreased in adults and children for PWD who used the 780G.
The 780G System Can Improve Outcomes for Diverse Populations of PWD
The 780G has shown to be an effective therapy for diverse groups of people, delivering international consensus-recommended glycemic control. Regardless of age, gender, race, socioeconomic backgrounds, or culture, our AID system has proven to achieve meaningful improvement in glycemic levels.
People who are in a challenging age group
The 780G significantly improves outcomes for adolescents whose diabetes is high risk and challenging to manage. For adolescents ages 13-25, the 780G provides sustained glycemic improvement, with studies showing TIR increasing by more than 30 percentage points, A1C decreasing by more than 2.5 percentage points at 12 months, and the rate of diabetic ketoacidosis decreasing by almost 40%.
People who are living with T2D with or without GLP-1 use
A 13-site, single-arm observational study of 89 adults with T2D who had been using either MDI or CSII pump therapy showed significant improvement in TIR and A1C levels after switching to the MiniMed 780G, with or without GLP-1 use. The participants underwent an approximately 21-day run-in period of open-loop or hybrid closed-loop followed by an approximately 90-day study period of 780G use. Users on the 780G saw their TIR increase from 72.2% during the run-in to 79.8%, with a reduction in A1C levels from 7.9% at baseline and during run-in to 7.2%. Additionally, there was no significant difference in A1C levels between GLP-1 users and nonusers. For GLP-1 users, A1C levels decreased from 7.6% to 7.1% whereas A1C levels decreased from 7.7% to 7.2% for nonusers.
A retrospective, real-world analysis of over 26,000 780G users with T2D also demonstrated that the 780G helps people with T2D and insulin resistance achieve glycemic control targets. Amongst the cohort of users who self-reported as having T2D and total daily dose of over 100 International Units (IU), the mean TIR was 72.2%. For ROS users, who represented 30.6% of the cohort, the TIR was even higher at 78.7%.
In people with T1D and T2D who are 65 years and older, TIR (70-180 mg/dL) exceeded 80% and TITR exceeded 55% and TBR (below 70 mg/dL) was less than 1% with recommended settings. This demonstrates that older individuals with diabetes can achieve similar results to those who are younger.
22
People who prefer different options
The 780G works well for PWD who do not prioritize glycemic control in bolusing or precisely estimating carbohydrates. For those who do want to prioritize achieving near-normal TIR levels, the 780G has demonstrated impressive results with time in tight range (TITR), defined as a percentage time spent in between 70 and 140 mg/dL (as opposed to time spent in between 70 and 180 mg/dL for TIR). TITR can be a more appropriate indicator in certain situations than TIR, such as when glucose levels are close to normal, when tighter glycemic control is required, or as a marker of a system’s ability to effectively control hyperglycemia. A study of over 13,000 real-world T1D users of the 780G demonstrated that its use improved TITR by 11.7% to 48.9% in those 15 or under and by 11.6% to 48.8% for those over 15, compared to the period before 780G use. Moreover, ROS users, who represented 5.3% of all users, achieved mean TITR of at least 55%. Another study showed that 780G users 56 years of age or older with T1D achieved a TITR of 51.3%; for ROS users, who represented 6.2% of all users 56 years of age or older, TITR was even higher at 57.4%.
People across different socioeconomic, cultural, and geographical backgrounds
The 780G has been proven to work for people across diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, as defined by the ADI score, a composite metric of socioeconomic status based on income, housing, employment, and education. Based on real-world evidence from over 40,000 780G users who lived in the United States, glycemic control results were similar regardless of socioeconomic status, with all ADI groups achieving an average 7% GMI. Additionally, we believe that the 780G can deliver recommended clinical outcomes across many geographies despite variability in diet and lifestyle, making access to superior solutions more equitable. All top 47 countries ranked by TIR achieved glycemic goals (>70% TIR) based on 780G users’ real-world data.
The 780G System Has Delivered Best-in-Class Glycemic Control Outcomes Over Current AID Systems and Insulin Pumps
A recent meta-analysis of 32 RCTs which includes Omnipod 5 shows 780G has a TIR that is 10 percentage points higher than Omnipod 5, 5.0% higher than Tandem's t:slim X2 with Control-IQ technology, 3.0% higher than CamDiab’s CamAPS Fx, and 6.8% higher than Diabeloop’s Generation 1. Although all hybrid closed-loop systems reduced users’ time below target range, 780G users exhibited the largest reductions compared to subcutaneous insulin therapy without continuous glucose monitoring. The risk of severe hypoglycemia and diabetic ketoacidosis was similar to other types of insulin therapy.
In addition to clinical studies, based on published real-world data, the 780G has proven to help its users maintain the closest TIR to a healthy pancreas compared to competing AID systems. A healthy pancreas maintains a TIR of 95%+. Acknowledging differences in patient age distributions can impact sustained TIR results in real-world data, in a longitudinal global real-world evidence dataset comprised of approximately 400,000 users spanning pediatric to adult patients, the 780G system has been proven to maintain a median TIR of 75-78% across pediatric and adult ROS users (comprised of over 65,000 users) as compared to published real-world evidence showing a median TIR of 65-70% across pediatric and adult age groups using the lowest glucose target for Insulet’s Omnipod 5 (54% of users used the lowest glucose target, and median TIR was 61-66% for all users) and, for Tandem’s Control-IQ, a median TIR of 72% for all patients and, in a separate 12-month observational study, a median TIR of 61-70% across pediatric and adult age groups. In the same data, for patients using 780G, 80% of all ROS users achieved the consensus target of TIR over 70%, as compared to 46% with the lowest target glucose setting for Insulet’s Omnipod 5. The percentage of patients using Tandem’s Control-IQ that achieved the consensus target of TIR over 70% was not specified.
Data for this comparison is based on Insulet’s Forlenza 2024 study, Tandem’s Messer 2023 study, and Tandem’s Graham 2024 study, which we believe are comparable to our real-world data because they are also relatively large real-world datasets with diverse populations spanning pediatric and adult patient ages, but differ in that they are limited to U.S. patients. Additionally, while Tandem’s Graham 2024 study is longitudinal and discloses outcomes for pediatric and adult age groups, it has a comparatively smaller sample size, and while Tandem’s Messer 2023 study has a comparatively larger sample size, it is not longitudinal and does not disclose outcomes by age groups.
The Pöhlmann 2025 meta-analysis, a systematic literature review and meta-analysis of 34 real-world studies conducted by external researchers in collaboration with Medtronic, evaluated glycemic outcomes across major AID systems. This independently executed analysis included data from more than 635,000 users. The study explores comparative performance outcomes for Medtronic’s MiniMed 780G, Tandem’s Control-IQ, and Insulet’s Omnipod 5 systems, among others.
The Pöhlmann 2025 meta-analysis found that the MiniMed 780G achieved the highest pooled TIR, outperforming both Control-IQ and Omnipod 5, while also demonstrating lower time above range and more consistent performance across geographies and age groups relative to other systems. MiniMed 780G ROS users achieved a mean TIR of 79.6%, which was 11.9% higher than the mean TIR of 67.7% achieved by Omnipod 5 ROS users. The overall (using any settings) TIR results showed that MiniMed 780G users using any settings achieved an unweighted mean TIR of 73.8%, which was 13.8% higher than the mean TIR of 60.0% achieved by Omnipod 5 users using any settings. ROS users comprised 6.5% of MiniMed 780G users and 53.3% of Omnipod 5 users.
23
The 780G Can Be Cost-Effective
The 780G can be a cost-effective way to manage diabetes and provide both long- and short-term economic benefits to PWD and healthcare systems. An analysis of data sourced from the ADAPT trial showed that 780G could potentially generate long-term savings, versus traditional therapies, of up to €43,000 per QALY by reducing diabetes-related complications in people with T1D with suboptimal glycemic control.
Innovation / Pipeline and Future Initiatives
Overview
We plan to continue our track record of creating disruptive technologies in the diabetes industry with our rich pipeline including our MiniMed Fit patch pump with extended wear and our next-generation Vivera dosing algorithm. These low-burden, easy-to-use, and consumer-friendly products are integrated around a unique software system that we have designed to allow the user to switch easily between devices to customize their treatment with a desired system solution combining these technologies.
Among our key initiatives, we plan to deepen our penetration of our addressable market in diabetes to include all modalities of insulin delivery. This includes MDI, tubed pumps, and patch pumps. With these insulin dosing options, we can accommodate the needs of the entirety of the T1D and T2D insulin dosing population whereas historically we were limited to only those that wanted a tubed pump.
Pipeline and Future Initiatives Detail
In the near future, subject to regulatory approval, we plan to globally introduce our new insulin patch pumps, and our next-generation Vivera dosing algorithm, ultimately providing what we believe will have the potential to be the best performing and easiest-to-use “hands-free” AID user experience in the market.
Our pipeline and future initiatives are described in more fulsome detail below.
24
MiniMed Fit Patch Pump
MiniMed Fit is our planned patch pump and is intended to offer an alternative form factor to our tubed pump. We expect that MiniMed Fit will offer a discreet, convenient diabetes product with the potential for extended wear time (up to seven days), large reservoir (300 units), and smartphone control. In addition, the MiniMed Fit patch pump’s differentiated two-piece design operates quietly and reduces waste, with a reusable component containing the rechargeable battery with integrated electronics, and a consumable or disposable component containing the insulin reservoir, infusion cannula, and on-body adhesive.
We believe MiniMed Fit will be attractive to both the T1D and T2D populations given its reservoir size and days of wear. We also believe the product will be positioned to enhance our U.S. pharmacy channel strategy.
Next-Generation Vivera Dosing Algorithm
We are working to extend our category leadership with our next-generation Vivera algorithm which we expect will enable a “hands-free” AID system that can safely and reliably deliver the right doses of insulin at the right time inclusive of mealtime. Startup will be simplified with just one total daily dose entry and without any regular user input. This next-generation algorithm is being designed to minimize the burden of managing diabetes by eliminating carb counting and manual food bolusing while allowing the user to maintain class-leading and consensus-recommended levels of glycemic control, with flexible targets of 90-140 mg/dL. We believe our algorithm will be highly differentiated among the algorithms currently in the market, minimizing input by the user and the provider. In feasibility study data for adults, the Vivera algorithm without manual user input achieved a mean TIR of 73.8%, with 75% of participants exceeding ADA guidelines of TIR >70%. For adult users seeking even tighter glycemic control, the Vivera algorithm with optional user carb counting achieved a mean TIR of 82.3%, with 92% of participants exceeding ADA guidelines of TIR >70%. The adult feasibility study data was collected from 24 patients with T1D currently using AID therapy, assumed to be sufficient to establish feasibility, across two studies conducted in Israel and New Zealand between April 2025 and August 2025. The feasibility study protocols used were not designed to prove statistical significance. We initiated the U.S. pivotal trial for the Vivera algorithm in February 2026.

Abbott Integration, Supply, and Distribution Agreement
On July 31, 2024, Medtronic MiniMed, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a global integration, supply, and distribution agreement with Abbott, which agreement was amended on June 1, 2026 (the “Abbott Agreement”). Under the terms of the Abbott Agreement, Abbott supplies us with an alternative CGM sensor based on Abbott’s most advanced single-analyte CGM technology in exchange for formula-based payment per unit. The June 1, 2026 amendments to the Abbot Agreement, among other things, extended our partnership with Abbott to commercialize dual glucose-ketone sensors designed to integrate exclusively with our MiniMed smart dosing systems. Abbott is the exclusive supplier of third-party CGMs for certain of our AID and Smart MDI systems. The Abbott agreement will continue for an initial term of seven years from June 1, 2026 and will automatically renew every two years thereafter for successive two-year terms, absent two years’ advance non-renewal notice by either party or unless terminated in accordance with the terms of the agreement. We or Abbott may terminate the Abbott Agreement following the other party’s material breach or insolvency, or if the other party undergoes a change of control with a competitor. Abbott may, in its sole discretion, terminate the Abbott Agreement (i) if we fail to purchase certain Abbott CGMs for any continuous six-month period, (ii) if we fail to commercially launch certain Abbott CGMs in certain markets within four years of the effective date of the Abbott Agreement, or (iii) if we acquire an independent CGM company and subsequently fail to meet the specified purchase volume threshold in certain markets. Under the terms of the Abbott Agreement, we agreed that we will not purchase, market, or distribute CGMs from certain of Abbott’s CGM competitors.
Blackstone Co-Development Agreements
Medtronic is party to certain arrangements with affiliates of Blackstone Life Sciences Advisors L.L.C. (collectively, “Blackstone”) pursuant to which we have received funding for expenses related to the development of specific Diabetes products up to certain caps for each project (each, a “Blackstone Agreement” and collectively, the “Blackstone Agreements”), and Blackstone Agreements under which we have continuing financial obligations were assigned to us pursuant to the Separation Agreement. The Blackstone Agreements for which there are ongoing development and commercialization plans relate to our next-generation MiniMed Flex insulin pump and MiniMed Fit patch pump. Additionally, Medtronic has continuing financial obligations under a previously terminated Blackstone Agreement for an extended-wear infusion set with a built-in CGM and transmitter (the “MiniMed Duo”), in respect of which were assigned the obligation pursuant to the Separation Agreement to pay royalties to Blackstone should we commercialize this product in the future.
Under the Blackstone Agreements, we are required to use certain defined commercially reasonable efforts to take certain development actions set forth in the Blackstone Agreements and to commercialize the applicable Blackstone-funded Diabetes products in certain specified jurisdictions for a specified period of time. As between us and Blackstone, we will be the sole and exclusive owner of all intellectual property rights to products developed under the Blackstone Agreements for future commercialization. Blackstone will not, without our consent, obtain any right or license to use any intellectual property rights to products developed under the Blackstone Agreements.
For each applicable Diabetes product, during the first two years following regulatory approval in the United States and commercial launch of each such product, Blackstone will earn the greater of: (i) mid-to-high single digit royalty percentage of applicable net sales for each product, and (ii) specified minimum payments up to $162 million for each product. After the first two years following regulatory approval in the United States and commercial launch of each Diabetes product, our royalty obligations continue at a mid-to-high single digit royalty percentage of applicable net sales until aggregate royalty payments since commercial launch have reached an amount equal to a low single digit multiple of the aggregate funding (the “Net Sales Threshold”) provided by Blackstone under such agreement. If a development project is delayed, the Net Sales Threshold will be subject to certain upward adjustments. Once the Net Sales Threshold has been reached, Blackstone will continue to earn royalties for five years at a low single digit royalty percentage of applicable net sales. On March 18, 2026, we announced that the U.S. FDA had cleared the MiniMed Flex, a next-generation discreet, smartphone-controlled insulin pump, and in June 2026 we launched MiniMed Flex in the U.S. In February 2026, we also submitted the MiniMed Flex for CE Mark approval. MiniMed Flex currently supports our Simplera Sync sensor and we expect that it will also support the Instinct sensor, made by Abbott by the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2027. In connection with the U.S. FDA clearance of MiniMed Flex, we recognized a one-time charge of $157 million during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026 related to future minimum royalty payment obligations under our research and development funding arrangement with Blackstone. See Note 11. “Research and Development Funding Arrangements,” to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.
26
Each Blackstone Agreement is subject to termination by Blackstone or by us in certain circumstances described further below. Blackstone may terminate a Blackstone Agreement: (i) if we fail to make certain capital investments and are unable to manufacture sufficient quantities of the product, (ii) if we are enjoined from continuing product development or commercialization, (iii) if we acquire rights to a competing product to the applicable product in certain specified markets, or (iv) if certain specified fundamental changes to the Company, or to our rights to the product, occur. We may terminate any of the Blackstone Agreements for any reason by providing a specified amount of prior written notice to Blackstone. If we or Blackstone elect to terminate a Blackstone Agreement for one of the reasons described above, we will be required to make a termination payment to Blackstone of a multiple of the funded amounts under the applicable agreement, which may be up to $216 million for each such termination, and our royalty payment obligation under the affected agreement will also continue in certain termination circumstances. If we acquire rights to a competing product in certain specified markets, Blackstone has the option to terminate the Agreement and receive a termination payment from us equal to a multiple of the funded amounts under the applicable agreement, which may be up to $216 million for each such termination, or continue to be eligible for the royalty payments on the product subject to the Blackstone Agreement; provided that if the product subject to the Blackstone Agreement has already been submitted for regulatory approval for commercial use at the time the competing product is acquired and Blackstone elects to receive royalty payments, such royalty payments would apply to both the product subject to the Blackstone Agreement and the competing product. We or Blackstone may also terminate a Blackstone Agreement if the other party materially breaches the agreement, subject to customary notice and cure provisions, and in certain such termination circumstances, a payment to Blackstone of a multiple of the funded amounts would be required, which may be up to $216 million for each such termination. We may also terminate a Blackstone Agreement if the relevant product is determined to be technically infeasible, although our royalty payment obligation to Blackstone will survive such termination.
During fiscal year 2025, by mutual agreement two co-development agreements with Blackstone were terminated. One agreement, for the development of MiniMed Duo, was terminated for technical infeasibility prior to full funding, with no termination charges recorded within the combined financial statements. The obligation to pay Blackstone royalties on MiniMed Duo’s net sales continues if the development and commercialization of this product are completed in the future. The other agreement was terminated following negotiations to resolve a contractual dispute with Blackstone related to the alleged acquisition of a competing product. As a result of these negotiations, we and Blackstone mutually agreed to terminate the agreement, we agreed to make a one-time $165 million payment to Blackstone, and we and Blackstone were each relieved of any continuing obligations under the agreement other than customary survival provisions.
Our Competitive Strengths
We believe the following strengths provide our business with significant, lasting advantages:
Unique and differentiated technology system delivering superior health outcomes and reducing diabetes disease burden for patients
We were the first player in the market to commercialize fully integrated Smart Dosing systems that include pumps and insulin pens, CGMs, other consumables, dosing algorithms, software, and applications, as well as wraparound system support. Our fully integrated system addresses two key pain-points for PWD: health outcomes and complexity of diabetes management.
Addressing Health Outcomes:
Our systems have consistently delivered superior clinical outcomes across diabetes populations, with a robust body of clinical evidence from controlled studies as well as real-world outcomes supporting our ability to improve glycemic control when compared to competing Smart Dosing systems as well as traditional therapy treatment options, including MDI with an unconnected CGM. Driving these better outcomes is crucial to relieving users of the serious comorbidities and health risks associated with diabetes—renal disease, blindness, nerve damage, and cardiovascular disease risk, among others. In addition to clinical studies, health economics studies have shown that our products also are associated with higher life expectancy and better cost-effectiveness versus traditional therapies. We believe the key to delivering these outcomes is our robust dosing algorithm, which was built with the benefit of hundreds of millions of patient data points accumulated over our years of operation.
27
Addressing Complexity:
We address complexity by offering a simple solution and customer experience that removes some of the constant administrative, physical, mental, and emotional burdens associated with managing diabetes. We believe our robust and forgiving algorithm is the market leader in effectiveness based on the results of our clinical studies. It can adjust for the occasional missed meals and deliver autocorrections to keep patients in a healthy glycemic range. As the only medical device company that commercializes all the components of a full Smart Dosing system, our solutions are designed to integrate best and work better together. Our customers have a single vendor and point of contact for their technology needs, further simplifying their disease management and reducing burden. We operate scaled global call centers, available on a 24/7/365 basis and supporting 25 different languages, with a single customer service line that handles issues for patients with any element of their diabetes management system. We offer a comprehensive range of treatment options, enabling user choice without sacrificing technological connectivity. Our CareLink software is fully compatible with our insulin pump, smart pen, CGMs, and other consumables, providing a solution for HCPs to manage their clinics more effectively and for users and their caretakers to track their therapy easily.
Altogether, our products deliver a better quality of life for PWD. This has been our focus since launching our first-generation MiniMed 670G hybrid closed-loop system in 2016, and continues today as we develop our third-generation AID systems. Our ecosystem of technologies is robust, reliable, easy-to-use, adapts to varying lifestyles and preferences, employs closed-loop autonomous dosing capabilities, and delivers health outcomes for a wide diversity of patient types. We are also able to implement system-wide cybersecurity risk mitigations that are fully integrated into our product offerings and are under our control. As PWD adopt Smart Dosing, we believe these factors position our company to capture share.
A global leader in diabetes medical devices with the largest number of pump users, broad and deep commercial reach, and scaled manufacturing capabilities
According to Seagrove Partners’ March 2026 market model, Insulet, Tandem, Ypsomed (now known as mylife Diabetes Care), Beta Bionics, and Medtrum, which we believe represent our closest insulin pump competitors, operate in 16, 23, 16, 1 and 11 countries, respectively. We have a strong OUS presence, with the largest number of pump users in Benelux, Germany, Israel, Italy, the Scandinavian region, and Spain, the second largest number of pump users in the United Kingdom, France, and Australia, and the third largest number of pump users in Canada, according to Seagrove Partners’ March 2026 market model. According to the same market model, we also maintain strong positions in top OUS developing markets: for example, we have the largest number of pump users in Argentina, Brazil, Poland, Russia, and Saudi Arabia, which markets we consider our top five OUS developing markets.
We deliver on our mission with a well-invested, global, and experienced employee base of approximately 8,000 dedicated employees globally, including over 2,800 commercial employees, and two world-class dedicated manufacturing facilities. Commercially and operationally, our scaled global infrastructure creates a significant barrier to entry, given our decades-long presence operating outside of the United States. We have experience navigating numerous distinct local regulatory and reimbursement regimes and have made a significant level of upfront investment that is required to establish footholds in our markets. As we go to market, we promote education in AID, expand availability of our products in the United States across distribution channels and health plans, and are differentiating ourselves outside of the United States in national tender regimes.
Over our years of operation, we have developed a deep understanding of each of our markets’ unique local dynamics to optimize our commercial approach. In many markets, our sales cycle is high touch, where we benefit by dedicating resources to functions that range from demand generation, both in the field and in digital marketing, through fulfillment support and renewals. Country to country, particularly within the EU, Japan, and Australia, we adapt our selling motion to a variety of payment schemes, varying constraints on our marketing activity, and differing levels of government and private payor involvement. We support patients and healthcare professionals in their treatment decisions and ongoing product utilization, building relationships with thousands of prescribing HCPs globally, including through clinical field professionals.
We have built a scaled manufacturing base, which we believe will enable our profitability and provide substantial operating leverage as we grow. We have produced over 5 million insulin pumps since 2001.
Significant body of compelling clinical and real-world evidence demonstrating our technology’s superior performance
There is a significant base of real-world data and experience as well from users, as hundreds of thousands of people have used our products. Broadly, this evidence supports the superiority of our system against other existing treatment options. Over the years, our products have produced consistent high-quality results for users.
28
A real-world study of adult ROS users, who represented 5.3% of the adult cohort, observed an approximately 81% TIR outcome (74% TIR for all adults), well above the 70% minimum ADA guideline. In another study, 86% of 780G ROS users, which represented 6.4% of all users, and 62.5% of all users, achieved at least that minimum 70% TIR. In a published meta-analysis, MiniMed users also exhibited the largest improvement in TIR when compared with competing systems, showing a mean difference of over 21% net higher TIR as compared with MDI, or five hours per day improvement. In the ADAPT randomized controlled study, users of our MiniMed780G system with our SmartGuard algorithm and Meal Detection technology achieve a significant average reduction in A1C of 1.4%, compared to MDI therapy with CGM alone.
Our system is also differentiated in its ability to deliver improved outcomes across a variety of diverse patient ages, diets, and lifestyles across the world. It is effective in difficult-to-treat populations: For example, evidence shows that high-risk T1D youth (aged 13-25 years) achieve more than nine additional hours of TIR after switching to a MiniMed 780G from MDI. It is simple enough for all users: a sample of patients naive to technology achieved 85% TIR after switching to MiniMed 780G. In terms of user experience, the MiniMed 780G has maintained the number one pump satisfaction in the United States since Q2 2024, according to pump satisfaction survey results from dQ&A’s Q2 2025 U.S. Diabetes Patient Voice report. According to the same report, in Q2 2025, the MiniMed 780G achieved a 53% overall satisfaction rating in the United States, compared to 47%, 48%, 37%, and 34% overall satisfaction ratings achieved by Tandem’s t:slim X2, Tandem’s Mobi, Insulet’s Omnipod 5, and Beta Bionics’ iLet Bionic Pancreas, respectively, which we believe represent the MiniMed 780G’s closest insulin pump competitors. Taken together, evidence shows that our solutions, through the simplicity of using one purpose-built technology ecosystem, improve the quality of life for our patients.
Industry-defining innovation track record, skilled global R&D team, and robust proprietary Virtual Patient Model
We have a 40+ year history of demonstrated excellence in innovation. We are committed to making material contributions to improving the lives of PWD through industry-defining inventions, including the first insulin pump with mass-market appeal and usability, the first physician-use CGM system, and the first hybrid closed-loop pump system. We support our innovation mission with a strong base of scientific, engineering, and regulatory expertise. Leading our efforts are over 1,100 research and development professionals who bring a diversity of skills across electrochemistry, electronics, mechanical engineering, software, data science and AI, and consumer electronics and valuable experience in the diabetes space. We have continuously invested in these capabilities and our innovation, deploying $448 million in research and development over the twelve months ended April 24, 2026 and $1.3 billion over the last three fiscal years.
Over the years, we have accumulated a wealth of longitudinal patient data and experience to support our continued innovation as the first company that has developed and commercialized both insulin delivery systems and CGM systems. Leveraging this proprietary data, we have constructed a robust Virtual Patient Model comprised of over 430 million data points from a wide variety of patients that simulates real-world conditions across a range of physiologies. With this Virtual Patient Model, we can accelerate our ability to iterate and virtually evaluate algorithm improvements with high correlation to real-world and controlled clinical outcomes. We believe it is a critical differentiator versus our competition, as dosing algorithms become more complicated and precise—eventually creating a completely hands-free experience, eliminating elements of user input such as carb counting.
Large intellectual property portfolio, fortifying our competitive positioning
Over our decades in operation, we have accumulated a large body of intellectual property. We vigorously safeguard our proprietary rights through a combination of patents, copyrights, trade secrets, nondisclosure agreements, and other legal protections. As of April 2026, we own or have rights to a large global patent portfolio with over 2,000 patents and patent applications worldwide, certain of which relate to various current or prospective aspects of the MiniMed 780G, Simplera CGM, InPen, algorithms, and adjunct products and systems. Protecting our intellectual property is a core strategic focus for our business, as we believe many of our current technologies and those in our pipeline are superior advancements to other products that are available today.
Attractive financial profile characterized by strong net sales growth, high device content per customer, and durable revenue base
Our competitive strengths and execution of our strategy have resulted in an attractive financial profile for our business. We have demonstrated double-digit year-over-year net sales growth in the last two fiscal years, driven by growing sales of our MiniMed 780G system as well as the successful launch of our Simplera CGM in the EU and the United States, Instinct CGM in the United States, and Simplera Sync in the EU. Because we commercialize all parts of an integrated diabetes management system, we are uniquely positioned to generate greater revenue per customer compared to competitors that only offer components of such systems and positions us to grow and take share through commercial execution, particularly with our next generation of products.
29
Our offerings are designed to generate a significant amount of revenue per pump user. We have a robust global base of more than 640,000 pump users as of April 2026. To this user base, we sell compatible consumable products, including CGMs, infusion sets, reservoirs, and other software and services. In the fiscal years ended 2026 and 2025, 82% and 80%, respectively, of our total revenue came from the sales of CGMs, other consumables, software, and services, which we believe make our core revenue base durable and resilient. We are well-positioned to operate at an attractive margin profile in the near- and long-term as a result of our best-in-class clinical outcomes, scaled commercial presence and infrastructure, and pipeline of innovative products, including our patch pump in development.
Highly experienced management team with a purpose-driven workforce—driving performance with a culture of accountability
Our global organization is led by an experienced, proven, and performance-driven senior management team that manages all aspects of our business. Our senior management team consists of industry and corporate veterans with a track record of leadership both within Medtronic and in other select world-class organizations. This team has a passionate focus on helping PWD, and has been responsible for key recent organizational achievements that put our business on its current trajectory, including the 2023 U.S. FDA approval of our MiniMed 780G system, 2024 CE Mark and 2025 U.S. FDA approval for MiniMed 780G with Simplera Sync sensor, 2024 U.S. FDA approval of our Simplera CGM, our global sensor partnership with Abbott announced in 2024, 2025 FDA clearance and 2026 CE Mark for the Instinct CGM for use with MiniMed 780G in 2025, and 2026 FDA clearance of the Flex pump.
We are supported by a dedicated, mission-focused global team of approximately 8,000 employees as of April 2026. Many of those employees have a strong connection to Diabetes, because they either have Diabetes themselves or have a close loved one who lives with Diabetes. Together, our team has built a culture of accountability and execution, where any individual can reach their full potential, make a difference for our customers, and be rewarded for it. We pride ourselves on our MiniMed Business System and Ways of Working and have established over 1,000 ongoing continuous improvement initiatives and milestones with individual dedicated initiative owners driving towards milestones to improve the business every day. These initiatives and focus have driven our recent momentum and our business on its current trajectory.
Our Growth Strategies
We aim to generate sustainable and profitable growth through execution of our corporate strategies.
Serve unmet needs with our current AID system generation of solutions by executing our commercial strategy and expanding clinical indications
We plan to continue to drive adoption of AID across our addressable market and additional population segments. In our current addressable market, we are driving sales of our MiniMed 780G system by communicating its clinical efficacy and customer experience benefits to PWD and prescribing HCPs through field clinical engagement, digital marketing, and our other commercial activities. Alongside patients new to therapy, we are focused on upgrading individuals using our prior pump generations, those using competing pumps, and others who are currently using more traditional solutions like MDI. We believe this most recent generation will continue to resonate with customers. Another key growth strategy is to increase our global CGM Attachment Rate, which we believe we can do with our next-generation Simplera Sync CGM sensor.
We also have an opportunity to grow the addressable market for MiniMed 780G through expanded indication labeling. For example, in fiscal year 2026, we received U.S. FDA and CE Mark approval for use of the MiniMed 780G system by insulin-requiring T2D patients. We believe the insulin-requiring T2D population is vastly underpenetrated around the world and well-suited for the MiniMed 780G system.
Leverage algorithm and dosing expertise to drive adoption of Smart MDI systems
In addition to AID, we continue to drive momentum with MiniMed Go, our next-generation Smart MDI system solution. Our dosing algorithm technology and connected Smart MDI systems help people with T1D or T2D to optimize their daily injections, driving better glycemic control versus other traditional therapy options.
As we pursue our strategy to drive Smart Dosing adoption for people with T2D, our Smart MDI is an available, attractive option for those requiring basal insulin treatment. As with our AID strategy, we plan to continue to drive uptake through our dedicated commercial functions across our markets.
30
Expand CGM options for PWD with global Abbott CGM partnership
In addition to our Simplera and Simplera Sync, we have introduced an additional complementary CGM option through our global partnership with Abbott. Abbott supplies us with Instinct, an alternative CGM sensor based on Abbott’s most advanced single-analyte CGM technology, and will be the exclusive supplier of third-party CGMs for certain of our AID and Smart MDI systems. We believe our partnership with Abbott will allow us to expand access to our advanced AID and Smart MDI systems that deliver best-in-class outcomes with the most widely used CGM technology in the world.
Deliver breakthrough innovation with our pipeline including our next-generation AID systems
We believe our pipeline is at a critical turning point where our next-generation AID system will create significant competitive differentiation to fulfill our mission of safely and effectively automating diabetes management to deliver a “hands-off” patient experience. We plan for this system to provide our customers with much greater choice for AID treatment using new technologies across insulin administration, CGM, and dosing algorithm technologies, in one unified platform and one consistent application for user and HCP experience, all while further reducing patient burdens significantly and raising the bar for clinical outcomes.
Our rich commercial pipeline includes our next-generation Vivera dosing algorithm; and our MiniMed Fit patch pump with extended wear. These low-burden, easy-to-use, and consumer-friendly products are expected to be wrapped around a unique software system that we are designing to allow the user to switch easily between devices to customize their treatment with a desired system solution combining these technologies.
Accelerate growth through strategic partnerships and tuck-in acquisition opportunities
As an independent company, we expect to have independent financial flexibility, scale, and access to capital markets that we may utilize to complement our organic initiatives with additional inorganic opportunities when appropriate. We have identified an attractive set of strategic opportunities across potential partnerships and tuck-in acquisitions. As part of this strategy, we expect to continue to pursue attractive strategic collaboration opportunities, such as our partnership with Abbott to expand CGM choice and access to our AID and Smart MDI systems. In addition, we expect to be opportunistic in pursuing growth-enhancing partnerships and/or tuck-in acquisitions.
Drive profit margin expansion by capitalizing on the utilization of our fully integrated diabetes systems
Our aim is to grow our profit and cash flow at a higher rate than our revenues through a number of levers. We first plan to drive sales of our full-system solution to optimize our opportunity to generate greater revenue per customer, compared to competitors that only offer components of such systems, which we believe will translate to higher margins as we sell higher volumes of product. As our CGM sensors, insulin pumps, and Smart MDI systems continue to proliferate, we also have an opportunity to expand our margins by developing and building out new high-volume and automated manufacturing. In particular, we believe our process for manufacturing our sensors has potential for significant expansion at higher volumes. While executing on these opportunities, we also plan to continue to execute our regular cadence of cost transformation initiatives, which have resulted in cost savings in recent periods.
Our Commercial Organization
We believe our commercial and service capabilities, scaled manufacturing capabilities, and broad and deep commercial reach provide us with a key competitive advantage among leading diabetes device manufacturers and the ability to realize durable growth at scale over the long term, as improving standards of care proliferate globally.
Our global commercial operations consist of over 2,800 employees as of April 2026. Our customer care and technology support operations represent over 1,300 employees across our commercial functions, with scaled global call centers that support 25 different languages on a 24/7/365 basis. Our reach, access, and relationships within the physician community have been cultivated over decades of strong partnership. We have active relationships with thousands of prescribing physicians globally, primarily endocrinologists and diabetes educators. We believe our omnichannel B2B2C marketing capabilities, digital and in the field, strong relationships in the diabetes community, and global brand reputation position us as the preferred customer choice throughout the entire customer journey.
PWD often have strong preferences about their choice in treatment, with prescribing HCPs having a position of influence on these choices by providing a clinical perspective and recommendation for their patients. As a result of this characteristic of our industry, we invest heavily in our brand and customer-facing marketing activities, in addition to our clinical activities in the field. We also provide wraparound support resources for patients to track their care and for providers to evaluate their patient population in their clinic. We have long-standing relationships with top patient advocacy groups who are highly influential on consumer choice and evolving clinical standards of care. We also have invested in establishing credibility and trust with KOLs and social advocacy organizations who drive awareness and influence. These end-to-end marketing capabilities and diverse media channels drive high brand affinity and preferred customer choice in the industry.
31
We offer a number of end-to-end digitally enabled customer service platforms that give our customers the ability to self-manage care when they want to, as well as receive high-touch human interactions when it matters most. From onboarding tools and eCommerce shopping to proactive outbound services and therapy dashboards, we strive to offer our customers a five-star customer experience. In some countries, we are even able to offer our devices and related services in a bundled therapy subscription offering for more support and customization. These services provide a unique and differentiated therapy experience, reduce sale and support friction, and foster long-term loyalty among our customers. Two such programs include StartRight and StayRight. As part of the StartRight program, we provide PWD new to therapy with virtual product training and identify them for proactive clinical specialist outreach to ensure a smooth start to therapy. During StayRight, our clinical team addresses common therapy friction points and engages in proactive outreach and troubleshooting to existing patients, such as repeat caller support. As of fiscal year 2026, these targeted customer support programs have engaged over 30,000 PWD across EMEA, and we expect to launch targeted customer support programs in the United States and other international markets.
Strategically, we invest in markets where we believe our state-of-the-art technologies have the best chance for broad adoption and reimbursement. As we launch new products and go to market, our commercial capabilities and reach enable us to drive uptake and adoption as quickly as possible.
In the United States
Our U.S. sales infrastructure includes over 1,000 dedicated MiniMed professionals, including commercial employees, field clinical representatives, and territory managers who support over 20,000 prescribing HCPs and who have built deep relationships with KOLs. Across approximately 170 territories, our U.S. salesforce footprint is strategically aligned to patient concentration, with field resources deployed nationwide commensurate to patient distribution density. We consider this breadth to be a key growth enabler in our market, as our engagement with these clinical professionals helps to proliferate broader understanding and appreciation of our differentiated clinical data and user experience.
We partner closely with our network of HCPs to provide training, education, and service at scale. As of November 2025, approximately 50% of our team of advanced diabetes clinical educators are CDCES-credentialed. This team conducts thousands of device trainings each year to help physicians better support their patients, in addition to training completed by contracted external trainers. In addition to our team of professionals, we offer technology services for HCPs through our CareLink Clinic platform that helps them run their clinics more effectively. CareLink Clinic transforms real-time patient data into clear and understandable dashboards and insights, with streamlined ability to identify potential issues their patients may be having with their diabetes management. Through our MiniMed Outcomes platform, we are able to show aggregated outcome data at a clinic level. This allows clinicians to allocate their time to the most vulnerable patients while reducing the number of visits for patients who have good glycemic control. Clinics can also assess their overall performance in supporting PWD by looking at their data at a population-wide level. As of February 2025, nine in ten HCPs agree that our CareLink Clinic reports are the best-in-class for treating patients on AIDs, according to physician surveys conducted by Medtronic. In addition to CareLink, we invest in research and education for use of our technology in diverse environmental use conditions such as adolescents, fasting, exercise, pregnancy, and older patients. This helps support the variety of use cases a clinic must handle.
Driving the quality of our customer service function is a team of employees responsible for helping customers navigate resupply needs, processing orders and fielding customer calls for any questions or troubleshooting needs that customers may have. We operate scaled global call centers, available on a 24/7/365 basis and supporting 25 different languages, with a single customer service line that covers hundreds of thousands of calls annually. These technical support resources are also available to HCPs to ensure they always have the latest information to help them care for their patients. With our reach, we invest in customer-centric initiatives. For example, our goal is that a customer who needs a replacement product can receive one the next day no matter where they are. Our team also helps patients navigate the complexity of various insurance plans in the United States including Medicare and Medicaid. We also mobilize support for communities and disaster relief to ensure users have adequate Diabetes supplies. This record of support over 40 years reinforces the brand equity of MiniMed.
Our channel expertise and distributor relationships drive revenue stickiness, differentiation and scale. For the fiscal year ended 2026, approximately 72% of our business in the United States (excluding U.S. territories) shipped directly to patients, versus approximately 28% indirect with distributor partners. Our distribution team manages over 25 partner relationships as of April 2026, including multiple major retail pharmacy distributors. We sell through the DME channel as a Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetic Devices, Prosthetics, Orthotics, & Supplies (DMEPOS)-accredited DME supplier and through the pharmacy channel, including, with pharmacy relationships across the United States and contracts in place with major distributors. We also operate MiniMed Pharmacy, with licenses in approximately 40 states. Currently, though we distribute the majority of our products through the DME channel and only a small percentage of our products through the pharmacy channel, we anticipate further expanding coverage for our products under the pharmacy benefit to increase our pharmacy channel utilization. We estimate that as of April 2026, approximately 69% of our customer base in our direct-to-patient distribution is comprised of patients covered under commercial insurance benefit plans.

The U.S. DME channel offers broad, established coverage for diabetes technology and a faster ramp to coverage with existing Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) codes. We address DME service gaps by selling our products through distributor partners. Through our years of experience distributing our products through the DME channel, our teams have developed the skill and knowledge needed to navigate complex DME coverage determinations. We maintain 500+ direct contracts for all payor types in the United States and have observed strong reimbursement rates. We also maintain contracts with numerous national pharmacy benefit managers (“PBMs”) and PBM-lead group purchasing organizations in the United States, and we have established formulary coverage for our CGMs and insulin pumps. In January 2026, we expanded U.S. formulary coverage for our MiniMed 780G system through new agreements with major PBMs and group purchasing organizations. These agreements encompass the MiniMed 780G insulin pump and our expanded CGM portfolio, including Simplera, Simplera Sync, and Instinct, and build on existing pharmacy coverage for our CGMs and consumables. As of February 2026, we estimate that our U.S. pharmacy benefit coverage arrangements include over 200 million commercial covered lives, based on data from MMIT and publicly available statements from our contracted PBM partners regarding the scope of their coverage, which equates to approximately 70% of commercial covered lives in the United States.
In the United States, we have secured broad access for the MiniMed 780G system under the medical benefit, achieving approximately 95% nationwide DME coverage through reimbursement contracts negotiated directly with health plans. We have additionally obtained access under the pharmacy benefit for the MiniMed 780G through contracted agreements with PBMs, reaching approximately 40% nationwide coverage as of November 2025, according to MMIT. We anticipate the MiniMed Flex, which is expected to be a line extension of the MiniMed 780G, will be eligible for similar levels of coverage under the DME and pharmacy benefits. We similarly hold contracts outlining extensive CGM coverage: as of November 2025, our Simplera Sync and Instinct CGMs have approximately 90% coverage nationwide under medical benefits in DME, and as of June 2026 the Instinct and Simplera CGMs have approximately 60% nationwide coverage under pharmacy benefits, according to MMIT. The InPen Smart Pen is eligible for coverage under the pharmacy benefit in approximately 67% of commercial health insurance plans and approximately 50% of Medicaid plans in the United States as of November 2025, according to MMIT.
To ensure our customers are able to access our products through their insurance, our intake teams evaluate a patient’s health plan benefits and process their prescription through the benefit that provides the lowest out-of-pocket cost. As a licensed pharmacy in approximately 40 states as of December 2025, we are able to conveniently adjudicate their prescription, apply any financial support programs for which the patient may be eligible, and direct-ship the product to the patient’s home. Similarly, as a DMEPOS-accredited provider, we offer the same convenience through DME, leveraging our tenured teams and detailed payor documentation flows.
We closely monitor policy changes and engage often with national diabetes advocacy groups, including Diabetes Technology Access Coalition (DTAC), Advamed, and Medical Device Manufacturers Association (MDMA), to lobby and influence policy makers for adequate reimbursement pathways and coverage for our products. We also provide data and support to these groups as they continuously evaluate their standards of care for diabetes treatment.
Outside of the United States
Globally, the diabetes market is very heterogeneous, requiring highly specific yet broad expertise in order to operate and succeed. A considerable portion of our sales have come from the EMEA region. This region is highly diverse, where there are nuanced differences in sales process and country-specific factors like tenders, vendor rankings for access, and varying levels of government involvement in procurement, fulfillment, and reimbursement.
For example, in Italy, its national health service delegates procurement to 19 regions and two autonomous provinces, within a tender framework. Across Italy, our business achieved a greater than 95% sensor adoption rate for those customers who used our insulin pumps in fiscal year 2025, and has been ranked as a number one or two leading brand for insulin pump users in each of the 2022-2024 dQ&A Italy Patient Voice surveys. We achieve this through a local tailored approach to HCP advocacy, partnering with around 300 patient groups and 2,000 HCPs as of April 2025, given Italy also limits digital marketing and advertising activities.
In contrast, France delegates procurement, fulfillment, and training to private service providers, with whom we negotiate pricing and supply agreements. These service providers are also the only parties that can have direct patient contact, meaning demand generation activity generally focuses on making our economic case to the service providers and HCPs, while also using more social media and press to highlight our products and brand instead of conducting field clinical sales activities.
We have observed similar variability in the OUS developing markets in which we maintain commercial operations. For example, Argentina and Brazil both follow a direct distribution model, where we ship orders directly to institutions or patients, and in some cities our distribution is also supported by pharmacies. In Poland, the national government provides reimbursement for our products, and we distribute our products by tendering to hospitals. Russia operates under a national tender framework.
33
Our European commercial organization is large, supporting thousands of HCPs, and boasts a long tenure of experience in the diabetes industry. We have built a large patient advocacy organization inclusive of partnerships with national, regional, and local associations. As of fiscal year 2026, we have developed deep relationships with KOLs, including approximately 70 regional KOLs, over 100 additional country-level KOLs, and a team of patient advisors in the region who help to drive advocacy. Similar to our efforts in the United States, in EMEA we engaged digitally over 100,000 HCPs with over 8,000 HCPs through HCP education programs in fiscal year 2026, including over 1,000 HCPs through webinars, and our podcast attracted over 2,500 listeners. In fiscal year 2026, we also reached over 4,200 HCPs through in-person outreach, including therapy education programs, peer-to-peer programs, and multi-day instructional events, and we directly interacted with over 3,100 HCPs through our attendance at conventions and other in-person events. We also strategically leverage our large digital footprint in these markets in compliance with country-level regulations regarding digital marketing activities. Customers in EMEA also value our integrated system sale and related wraparound services. We offer a number of digital care management platforms, training and onboarding tools, and in some countries we are able to offer our devices and related services in a bundled subscription offering.
Research and Development
Our multidisciplinary capabilities in research and development, underscored by our deep clinical experience, enable our business to develop breakthrough innovative solutions for PWD. We have a highly experienced team, with the expertise to drive our robust pipeline. Our team is composed of over 1,100 research and development professionals who bring a diversity of skills across electrochemistry, electronics, mechanical engineering, software, data science and AI, and consumer electronics and valuable experience in the diabetes space.
There are significant opportunities in diabetes technology, and we have a disciplined approach to our portfolio, aligning projects with our long-term strategic goals and growth vectors. We have completely overhauled the architecture of our software, digital, hardware, and manufacturing platforms. This will allow us to accelerate new product introductions through the scale benefits of one app and one algorithm for all devices and user personas.
Our differentiated strengths in our R&D platform result from the amount of data we have and our experience in not only developing algorithms but also clinically validating them. Algorithm design and enhancements drive superior clinical performance of our AID system by optimizing insulin delivery timing and amounts. Additionally, we were the first diabetes company that houses R&D for all the components of an AID system inclusive of pump, CGM, algorithm, infusion set, and patient/HCP-facing software. To optimize our development process, we created a digital twin of patients which aggregates over 430 million data points from many thousands of patients and enables us to accelerate our ability to iterate and virtually evaluate algorithm improvements with high correlation to real-world and controlled clinical outcomes. We believe it is a critical differentiator versus our competition, as dosing algorithms become more complicated and precise. This platform has the potential to reduce our R&D timeline by allowing us to expedite the testing and iteration process. It significantly increases our confidence in product performance under the scrutiny of clinical trials and regulatory review.
Our primary research and development activities take place in our Northridge, California corporate headquarters, with additional research and development personnel based in Minneapolis, San Diego and Israel. We invest with a commitment to innovating next-generation diabetes care solutions that enhance the standard of care for our customers and drive organic growth for our business. R&D expense incurred was $448 million, $436 million, and $437 million in fiscal years 2026, 2025, and 2024, respectively. Our substantial investment in R&D directly fuels large intellectual property generation, as evidenced by the numerous patents filed each year that stem from these development efforts. This strong link between innovation and intellectual property protection ensures that our product pipeline remains both cutting-edge and strategically safeguarded.
Clinical Research, Medical Office, and Regulatory Affairs
Our Clinical Research, Medical Office (which includes Medical Safety), and Regulatory Affairs functions are comprehensive in scope and impact, supporting our ability to develop and market our medical-grade technologies.
Clinical Research creates objective and scientific evidence demonstrating safety, performance and clinical value of products that allows our business to gain market access and adoption. Our Clinical Research team’s responsibilities include developing comprehensive global evidence strategy, innovative study design and execution, evidence-generation pathways, post-market surveillance, clinical evaluation, external and collaborative research, and global investigator and site engagement.
34
The Medical Office provides strategic development and execution, subject expertise, and relationships necessary to create meaningful benefits for patients and HCPs. Our Medical Safety team of experienced safety professionals engages across the product lifecycle to promote early identification and quick mitigation of potential patient safety issues. They review literature for safety investigations, support post-market surveillance, develop Issue Impact Assessments, provide input on potential Field Corrective Actions, maintain other safety records, and provide input to our risk management processes. Our Medical Science and Medical Affairs teams assist in our efforts including input to product development to provide context for clinical needs and value proposition; objective input to portfolio management and market assessments; engagement with patients, providers, and professional societies; dissemination of evidence to relevant stakeholders; reimbursement expertise; development of health economic evidence and tools and clinician education strategy; and tactical execution.
Regulatory Affairs ensures global access to our products, processing hundreds of regulatory filings annually across our countries of operation. Our dedicated regulatory teams execute on core registration processes, provide ongoing commercialized regulatory support, and coordinate with distributors and local registration groups. The Regulatory Affairs team allows our business to transition our portfolio as regulatory environments evolve, while also achieving market access for our new product releases.
Manufacturing & Supply Chain
We operate with a global manufacturing, supply, and distribution footprint designed to allow us to meet the demand for our products in a reliable and timely manner. We apply lean principles to grow our efficiency with manufacturing automation, supply chain digitization, and other strategies. Our experience in serving hundreds of thousands of PWD and producing millions of products annually has helped us understand the intricacies of manufacturing high volumes of products at scale and shipping them around the globe. We have built a global network of suppliers to provide a durable and secure supply chain for our business. Our manufacturing operations are led by a team whose members have extensive experience in the commercial manufacturing of medical devices, including other technological advances in diabetes treatment.
In particular, we have made conscious design choices for the MiniMed Flex, our next-generation insulin pump, and the MiniMed Fit patch pump by leveraging our existing intellectual property portfolio to maintain optimal performance while enabling scalable manufacturing capabilities and minimizing execution risk.
The MiniMed Flex pump utilizes a familiar design that employs MiniMed 780G’s proven pump drive mechanism, reducing complexity and manufacturing costs. MiniMed Flex will be compatible with our existing reservoir and infusion set portfolio, including our seven-day infusion set and over 20 cannula options. Through our manufacturing partner, we aim to scale production capacity to approximately 100,000 units annually at launch and have plans to further scale production in the future. Achievement of these production targets depends on our manufacturing partner’s ability to meet contracted capacity commitments.
With the MiniMed Fit patch pump, we plan to strategically separate low-volume electronics into reusable modules while designing high-volume disposable components for simple, scalable production. Using our proprietary cannula and reservoir technology, we have streamlined the design to utilize just 64 total parts, compared to the 70 components used in the assembly of Insulet’s Omnipod 5. To further bolster scalability, we have designed the MiniMed Fit patch pump so that patients will only require six patches per month, compared to the ten patches per month required with Omnipod 5. Through our experienced manufacturing partner, we have arranged for an initial launch capacity of approximately 20,000 patients annually, with plans to scale to meet additional demand.
We operate two primary internal dedicated manufacturing facilities located in Northridge, California and Juncos, Puerto Rico. We produce certain of our pumps, reservoirs, and sensors at these facilities. Our current manufacturing infrastructure features a range of capabilities including sensor fabrication, reservoir production, pump programming, assembly, testing, packing, and release. We also leverage our contract manufacturing partnerships for additional services including application-specific integrated circuit production, substrate production, pump and CGM assembly, warehousing, postponement, kitting / final goods, and transmitter recharge processes.
We are registered with the U.S. FDA as a medical device manufacturer and we are subject to and maintain compliance with ISO manufacturing standards, including ISO 13485 certification, current Good Manufacturing Practices, and the relevant QSR requirements.
We use a broad range of raw materials and components in the manufacturing of our products, purchasing these inputs from a diverse set of third-party suppliers globally. Our global scale allows us to provide our customers with improved supply chain security at a reduced cost and risk. We focus on manufacturing and supply chain efficiencies and security on an ongoing basis, developing business contingencies and remediation plans to ensure we can meet customer needs.
We ship our products annually to over 80 countries. We operate two primary distribution hubs globally in Louisville, Kentucky and Heerlen, Netherlands, and have 26 additional distribution facilities globally, utilizing commercial freight carriers to distribute our products to customers around the world.
35
Our Competition
The diabetes medical device industry is highly competitive, with companies constantly innovating and developing new products, technologies, and treatment approaches. However, due to thresholds for manufacturing scale, IP protection, and regulatory infrastructure, there are a small number of scaled competitors. Of these players, we have the largest global presence in AID/Smart Dosing, ensuring broad access and support for patients worldwide. With decades of experience operating in U.S. and international markets, our robust infrastructure for distribution, training, and long-term service support makes us a formidable competitor in these regions.
Commercializing all parts of an integrated diabetes management system allows us to have the opportunity to generate greater revenue per customer compared to competitors that only offer components of such systems and positions us to grow and take share through commercial execution, particularly with our next generation of products. Our ecosystem includes the MiniMed 780G system for automated insulin delivery, including the insulin pump, CGM, insulin dosing algorithm, and a broad consumables portfolio and the InPen Smart Insulin Pen for MDI users, expanding automation beyond our pump solutions. Our solutions come with real-time analytics and decision support tools to further optimize therapy for our patients.
We compete with companies such as Beta Bionics, Inc.; Dexcom, Inc.; Insulet Corporation; Sequel Med Tech, LLC; and Tandem Diabetes Care, Inc.
In addition, we face competition beyond devices from a number of existing pharmaceutical companies, medical researchers, and startups, and large tech companies that are pursuing new diabetes treatments including preventative therapies for T1D, potential beta-cell replacement therapies, and alternative approaches to non-invasive glucose monitoring and smart insulin formulations.
Intellectual Property
We rely on a combination of intellectual property rights, including our patents, trademarks, trade secrets, and copyrights, as well as rights to third-party intellectual property pursuant to licenses and other contracts relating to a wide array of third-party technologies, to establish, maintain, protect, and enforce the intellectual property and other proprietary information used in our business. Over our decades in operations, we have accumulated a large intellectual property portfolio. Establishing, maintaining, protecting, and enforcing our intellectual property and other proprietary rights in the United States and around the world is important to our success, and we consider these rights, in the aggregate, to be material to our business; however, we believe that no single intellectual property asset or license is material in relation to our business as a whole.
To facilitate the Separation and enable our operations to continue with minimal interruption following the Separation, Medtronic granted to us licenses to use certain intellectual property rights retained by Medtronic that we used in the conduct of our business prior to the Separation, including the “Medtronic” name and logo, for a limited duration following the Separation, even if Medtronic ceases to own a controlling equity interest in our company. In addition, we granted to Medtronic a license to use certain intellectual property rights owned by us following the Separation. For additional details relating to this post-transaction relationship, see our definitive proxy statement for the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders to be filed with the SEC within 120 days after the end of the fiscal year to which this Annual Report on Form 10-K relates (the “2026 Proxy Statement”).
We seek to establish, maintain, protect, and enforce our intellectual property and other proprietary rights by all appropriate means, but the steps we have taken, and will take in the future, may prove inadequate. Third parties could infringe, misappropriate, or otherwise violate our intellectual property and other proprietary rights. In addition, despite our internal processes for intellectual property clearance, we could face allegations of infringement, misappropriation, or violation of the intellectual property or other proprietary rights of third parties. Under either circumstance, our business, results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows could be adversely affected. For additional information about these and other risks associated with our use of intellectual property and proprietary information in our business, see “Risk Factors.”
Trademarks
Our trademark protection is an important part of establishing and maintaining brand recognition for our products in the United States and around the world. The vast majority of our net sales are derived from products bearing proprietary trademarks and tradenames. These trademarks and tradenames distinguish our products from our competitors’ products. We seek to obtain protection for these trademarks and tradenames by all appropriate means, and we consider them, in the aggregate, to be material to our business.
36
As of May 2026, we own or have rights to over 350 trademark registrations and applications worldwide. Trademarks registered in the United States remain in force for 10 years and may be renewed every 10 years after issuance so long as the mark is still being used in commerce. Trademarks registered in other countries generally have varying terms and renewal policies. Filing a trademark application does not guarantee that the trademark application will proceed to registration. Our trademarks could be challenged, invalidated, declared generic, infringed, or otherwise violated. Opposition or cancellation proceedings may in the future be filed against our trademark applications and registrations, and our trademarks may not survive these proceedings.
Patents
We actively file and maintain a portfolio of patents in the United States and around the world and seek to obtain and enforce patent protection by all appropriate means. Our patent portfolio focuses on certain features of our products (for example, MiniMed 780G, Simplera CGM, InPen, algorithms, and adjunct products and systems), including methods of use, manufacturing processes, delivery devices, sensors, software, designs, and packaging. As a result, our products are often protected by multiple patents covering a variety of distinct features of the product. This diminishes our reliance on any individual patent for a product’s commercial success because the inability to obtain patent protection for one feature of the product can often be offset by patent protection of a different feature or by other types of intellectual property protection. Consequently, while we consider these patents, and the protection thereof, to be important, we do not consider any single patent to be material to any material product or product family, and we do not expect the expiration of any single patent to have a material impact on any material product or product family.
As of April 2026, we own or have rights to over 2,000 patents and patent applications worldwide. The term of individual patents depends upon the country in which the patent is obtained. In the United States, the patent term is generally 20 years from the date the earliest non-provisional patent application to which the patent claims priority is filed, and, in many other countries, the patent term is also generally 20 years from the filing date of the patent application. Our issued patents are subject to the applicable patent term as well as any potential patent term adjustments or patent term extensions that may extend the life of the issued patents, assuming payment of all appropriate maintenance, renewal, annuity, or other governmental fees.
We cannot predict whether the patent applications we pursue or in-license will issue as patents in any particular jurisdiction or whether the claims of any owned or in-licensed issued patents will provide any protection from competitors. Even if our owned or in-licensed pending patent applications are granted as issued patents, those patents, as well as any other issued patents we may own or license from third parties now or in the future, may be challenged, circumvented, or invalidated by third parties. Consequently, we may not successfully obtain or maintain adequate patent protection for our products, manufacturing processes, delivery devices, sensors, software, designs, or packaging.
Other Proprietary Rights
For certain of our products, processes, product designs, formulations, practices, software, technical data, and strategies, we rely on trade secrets, know-how, and other proprietary information, which we seek to protect, in part, through IT systems and by confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements with our employees, vendors, consultants, and other commercial partners. We also seek to enter into agreements whereby our employees, vendors, consultants, and other commercial partners assign to us the rights in any intellectual property they develop in the course of their engagement with us. However, these agreements may not effectively prevent disclosure or misappropriation of our trade secrets, know-how, or other proprietary information, and disputes may still arise with respect to the ownership of the intellectual property and proprietary information used in our business. In addition, third parties may independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information or improperly gain access to or disclose our trade secrets.
Quality Assurance
Our customers and providers value high-quality manufacturing and reliability of top-quality products. Through our automated inspection and testing, supplier quality development program, and zero-loss mindset, we deliver world-class products and services to our customers. We have dedicated quality teams that support product design, development controls, quality assurance, quality control, corrective and preventative actions, quality management systems, and post-market vigilance. We believe we have built a solid track record in quality and compliance, delivering our products to the highest standards of our HCPs, often for use with their most vulnerable PWD.
Through our last 40 years of marketed products, our team has learned and improved upon our diverse capabilities in quality assurance to allow us to optimize PWD safety and experience. Our team develops and maintains the processes for developing state-of-the-art solutions for our providers and their PWD in compliance with all applicable standards and regulations. Our quality assurance efforts focus on both the development of new products and continuously enhancing our existing products. In partnership with our deep talent pool of experienced clinicians, our quality assurance team solves clinical problems and provides guidance in the development processes that assure the quality and efficacy of our devices.
37
Our quality capabilities are robust and built on a foundation of a highly mature organization. Our engineers and compliance professionals assure quality and compliance to worldwide regulations for quality management systems, product development, risk management, supplier quality compliance, design test equipment conformance, and employee training. Through continuous investment in our people and processes, quality assurance programs prioritize PWD safety and compliance to all worldwide standards.
As proof of our commitment to continuous quality improvement and rigorous adoption of standards, we applied for and were selected as a participant in the U.S. FDA Voluntary Improvement Program (VIP) in 2023. The U.S. FDA’s VIP is a voluntary program facilitated through the Medical Device Innovation Consortium (the “MDIC”) that evaluates the capability and performance of a medical device manufacturer’s practices using third-party appraisals, and is intended to guide improvement to enhance the quality of devices.
We expect the highest standards of ethics and integrity from our employees and suppliers. Our employees are encouraged to say something if they see something. Our Chief Quality Officer, in partnership with our Chief Medical Officer, is empowered to make decisions related to safety and quality even and especially if there is an adverse impact on the business.
Government Regulation and Product Approval Process
Our operations and products are subject to extensive regulation by numerous government agencies globally. Our business is global, and we are required to comply with the unique regulatory requirements of each country in which we market and sell our products; this makes our business subject to the risks and costs associated with such regulations. Our business is subject to the rules and regulations of the U.S. FDA, the EU MDR, and various other individual country regulatory bodies and agencies which can affect market access in an ever-changing regulatory environment. To varying degrees, each of these agencies requires us to comply with laws and regulations governing the development, testing, manufacturing, labeling, marketing, distribution, and post-market surveillance of our products. Some jurisdictions mandate reporting of marketing expenditures, pricing disclosures, and payments to HCPs. Others require the registration of medical device sales representatives.
United States Regulations
In the United States, the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and the U.S. FDA’s implementing regulations govern:
•product design and development;
•pre-clinical and clinical testing;
•establishment registration and product listing;
•product manufacturing;
•labeling and storage;
•pre-market clearance or approval;
•advertising and promotion;
•product sales and distribution;
•recalls and field safety corrective actions; and
•servicing and post-market surveillance.
Each medical device we seek to commercially distribute in the United States must first receive from the U.S. FDA 510(k) clearance through the pre-market notification process, approval of a pre-market approval (“PMA”) application, or de novo classification, unless the device is specifically exempted. Both the 510(k) clearance and PMA processes can be resource-intensive, expensive, and lengthy, and require payment of significant user fees, unless an exemption is available.
The U.S. FDA classifies medical devices into one of three classes—Class I, Class II, or Class III—depending on the degree of risk associated with each medical device and the extent of manufacturer and regulatory control needed to ensure its safety and effectiveness. Devices requiring fewer controls because they are deemed to pose lower risk are placed in Class I or II. Class I devices are subject to general controls such as labeling, pre-market notification, and adherence to QMSR, which cover manufacturers’ methods and documentation of the design, testing, production, control quality assurance, labeling, packaging, sterilization, storage, and shipping of products. Class II devices are subject to special controls such as performance standards, post-market surveillance, U.S. FDA guidelines, or particularized labeling, as well as general controls.
38
We offer two types of systems for PWD requiring intensive insulin therapy: our AID systems, which include the MiniMed 780G System and its predecessors, and our Smart MDI systems, which include the InPen injector. Both types of systems consist of components that are regulated by the U.S. FDA.
Our MiniMed 780G insulin pump with either Simplera Sync or Guardian 4 CGM sensor and SmartGuard dosing algorithm technology is approved as a Class III automated insulin delivery system by the U.S. FDA through the PMA process. The U.S. FDA defines a Class III medical device as one that supports or sustains human life or is of substantial importance in preventing impairment of human health or presents a potential, unreasonable risk of illness or injury. In addition to the Class III approval for the MiniMed 780G system (MiniMed 780G insulin pump with either Simplera Sync or Guardian 4 CGM sensor and SmartGuard dosing algorithm) as an automated insulin delivery system, two components of the 780G system—the MiniMed 780G pump and SmartGuard dosing algorithm —were submitted to and cleared by the U.S. FDA for additional indications as a Class II ACE pump and iACC, respectively. This Class II indication included interoperability with Class II CGMs, to facilitate integration with the Instinct sensor, which is a Class II CGM.
Our third-generation AID systems include our smaller MiniMed Flex insulin pump, which received FDA clearance in March 2026 and launched in the United States in June 2026. We submitted MiniMed Flex for CE Mark approval in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026. They also include our MiniMed Fit patch pump with extended wear, which we aim to submit for U.S. FDA approval by fall of calendar year 2026, with CE Mark submission thereafter.
We are progressing several enhancements to our Smart MDI system with our next-generation MiniMed Go system. MiniMed Go is our next-generation Smart MDI system and includes a simple, self-start smart insulin pen; a single, fully integrated app; and full integration with Simplera Sync and Instinct CGMs. The MiniMed Go app has received U.S. FDA clearance and CE Mark approval, and we launched the product in the United States in May 2026.
Our insulin reservoirs are Class II infusion pumps and have been approved by the U.S. FDA through the 510(k) process. The U.S. FDA defines a Class II infusion pump as a medical device that delivers fluids into a patient’s body in controlled amounts.
Our InPen injector is a Class II piston syringe and has received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. FDA. A Class II piston syringe is defined by the U.S. FDA as a medical device consisting of a calibrated hollow barrel and a movable plunger. At one end of the barrel, there is a nozzle for fitting the hub of a hypodermic single lumen needle. A piston syringe is used to inject fluids into, or withdraw fluids from, the body.
Our InPen app is a diabetes management tool that helps patients track insulin doses, calculate insulin doses using current glucose and carbohydrates and interact with their healthcare teams, which is classified by the U.S. FDA as a Class II Predictive Pulmonary-Function Value Calculator.
U.S. FDA Pre-Market Notification (510(k)) Process
To obtain 510(k) clearance, a manufacturer must submit a pre-market notification to the U.S. FDA demonstrating that the proposed device is substantially equivalent to a previously-cleared 510(k) device, is a device that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976 for which the U.S. FDA has not yet called for the submission of PMA applications, or is a device that has been reclassified from Class III to either Class II or I. In rare cases, Class III devices may be cleared through the 510(k) process. The U.S. FDA’s 510(k) clearance process usually takes from three to 12 months from the date the application is submitted and filed with the U.S. FDA, but may take significantly longer, particularly for a novel type of product. Although many 510(k) pre-market notifications are cleared without clinical data, in some cases, the U.S. FDA requires significant clinical data to support substantial equivalence. In reviewing a pre-market notification submission, the U.S. FDA may request additional information, including clinical data, which may significantly prolong the review process.
If the U.S. FDA agrees that the device is substantially equivalent to a predicate device currently on the market, it will grant 510(k) clearance to commercially market the device. If the U.S. FDA determines that the device is not substantially equivalent to a previously cleared device, the device is automatically designated as a Class III device. The device sponsor must then fulfill more rigorous PMA requirements, or can request a risk-based classification determination for the device in accordance with the de novo classification process, which is a route to market for novel medical devices that are low to moderate risk and are not substantially equivalent to a predicate device. Once a de novo application is reviewed and approved, the device is given Class II status, and future devices from the company or a competitor may use the company’s de novo-classified device as a 510(k) predicate.
After a device receives 510(k) clearance, any subsequent modification of the device that could significantly affect its safety or effectiveness, or that would constitute a major change in its intended use, will require a new 510(k) clearance or could require a PMA. The U.S. FDA requires each manufacturer to make this determination initially, but the U.S. FDA may review any such decision and may disagree with a manufacturer’s determination. If the U.S. FDA disagrees with a manufacturer’s determination, the U.S. FDA may require the manufacturer to cease marketing and/or recall the modified device until 510(k) clearance or approval of a PMA is obtained. Under these circumstances, the U.S. FDA may also subject a manufacturer to significant regulatory fines or other penalties.
39
Over the last several years, the U.S. FDA has proposed reforms to its 510(k) clearance process, and such proposals could include increased requirements for clinical data and a longer review period, or could make it more difficult and costly for manufacturers to utilize the 510(k) clearance process for their products.
Pre-Market Approval Process
The second, more rigorous process, known as pre-market approval, requires us to independently demonstrate that a medical device is safe and effective for its intended use. This process is generally much more time-consuming and expensive than the 510(k) process. High-risk devices (Class III) require pre-market approval through this process, where the manufacturer must provide clinical data and other evidence to demonstrate that the device is safe and effective. This process is typically used for devices like pacemakers, stents, and other life-sustaining devices.
A PMA application must be backed by valid scientific evidence, typically consisting of extensive technical, pre-clinical, clinical, manufacturing, and labeling data to demonstrate the device’s safety and effectiveness to the U.S. FDA’s satisfaction. Additionally, the PMA submission must provide a comprehensive description of the device and its components, as well as a detailed account of the methods, facilities, and controls used in its manufacturing process, along with proposed labeling. Once the PMA application is submitted and deemed sufficiently complete, the U.S. FDA initiates a thorough review of the provided information. During this process, the U.S. FDA may request additional details or clarification of existing data. Furthermore, the agency may convene an external advisory panel of experts to assess and provide recommendations on the application. The U.S. FDA also typically conducts a pre-approval inspection of the manufacturing facility to verify compliance with QMSR, which mandates adherence to design, testing, control, documentation, and other quality assurance procedures.
The U.S. FDA’s review of a PMA application generally spans between one and three years, though it can take significantly longer. Approval may be delayed, restricted, or denied for various reasons, including:
•the device failing to meet the U.S. FDA’s safety or effectiveness standards;
•insufficient data from pre-clinical studies or clinical trials to support approval;
•non-compliance of the manufacturing process or facilities with regulatory requirements; and
•new U.S. FDA policies or regulatory changes necessitating additional data.
If the U.S. FDA’s evaluation of a PMA application is favorable, it will issue either an approval letter or an approvable letter, the latter typically outlining conditions that must be satisfied before final approval is granted. Once these conditions are met to the U.S. FDA’s satisfaction, the agency will issue a PMA approval letter authorizing the device’s commercial marketing while imposing any necessary conditions or limitations. Conversely, if the U.S. FDA’s evaluation is unfavorable—whether due to deficiencies in the application or manufacturing process—it may deny approval outright or issue a not approvable letter. In some cases, the U.S. FDA may determine that additional testing or clinical trials are required, potentially delaying approval for several months or even years while further studies are conducted and new data is submitted as an amendment to the PMA.
The PMA process is often costly, uncertain, and time-consuming. Many devices submitted for U.S. FDA approval by other companies have failed to gain authorization for commercial marketing.
De Novo Classification Process
Devices of a new type that the U.S. FDA has not previously classified based on risk are automatically classified into Class III, regardless of the level of risk they pose. However, the U.S. FDA may authorize such novel devices that are low to moderate risk through the de novo classification process. A medical device may be eligible for de novo classification if the manufacturer first submitted a 510(k) premarket notification and received a determination from the U.S. FDA that the device was not substantially equivalent. A manufacturer may also request de novo classification directly without first submitting a 510(k) premarket notification to the U.S. FDA and receiving a not substantially equivalent determination. The U.S. FDA is required to classify the device within 120 days following receipt of the de novo application, although in practice, the U.S. FDA’s review may take significantly longer.
When the U.S. FDA grants a request for de novo classification, the device is granted marketing authorization and can serve as a predicate for future devices of that type through a 510(k) premarket notification.
Exempt Devices
40
If a manufacturer’s device falls into a generic category of Class I or Class II devices that the U.S. FDA has exempted by regulation, a pre-market notification is not required before marketing the device in the United States. Manufacturers of such devices are required to register their establishments and list their devices. Some 510(k)-exempt devices are also exempt from QMSR requirements, except for QMSR’s complaint handling and recordkeeping requirements. The MiniMed Mobile App and the CareLink Connect (CarePartner) Mobile App are Class II exempt devices.
Post-Market Regulation of Medical Devices
After a device is placed on the market, numerous regulatory requirements apply, including:
•establishment registration and device listing;
•QMSR, which requires manufacturers, including third-party manufacturers, to follow stringent design, testing, control, documentation, and other quality assurance procedures during the development and manufacturing process;
•labeling regulations and prohibitions against the promotion of products for uncleared, unapproved, or “off-label” uses, and other requirements related to promotional activities;
•medical device reporting regulations, which require that manufacturers report to the U.S. FDA if their device may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury, or malfunctioned in a way that would likely cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if the malfunction were to recur;
•corrections and product recall reporting regulations, which require that manufacturers report to the U.S. FDA field corrections and product recalls or removals if undertaken to reduce a risk to health posed by the device or to remedy a violation of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act that may present a risk to health. In addition, the U.S. FDA may order a mandatory recall if there is a reasonable probability that the device would cause serious adverse health consequences or death; and
•post-market surveillance regulations, which apply when necessary to protect the public health or to provide additional safety and efficacy data for the device.
Failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements can result in enforcement actions by the U.S. FDA and other regulatory agencies, which may include any of the following sanctions: untitled letters or warning letters; fines, injunctions, consent decrees, civil, or criminal penalties; recall or seizure of our current or future products; operating restrictions; partial suspension or total shutdown of production; refusal of or delay in granting 510(k) clearance or PMA of new products or modified products; rescinding previously granted 510(k) clearances or withdrawing previously granted PMAs; or refusal to grant import or export approval of our products.
We are subject to announced and unannounced inspections by the U.S. FDA, and these inspections may include the manufacturing facilities of our subcontractors. If, as a result of these inspections, the U.S. FDA determines that our equipment, facilities, laboratories, or processes do not comply with applicable U.S. FDA regulations and conditions of product approval, the U.S. FDA may seek civil, criminal, or administrative sanctions and/or remedies against us, including the suspension of our manufacturing operations. We have been subject to U.S. FDA inspections of our facilities on multiple occasions.
Our business is subject to advertisement and promotion regulation as well, which if deemed violated can result in fines, imprisonment, or orders forfeiting products, prohibiting or suspending their supply to the market, or requiring the manufacturer to issue public warnings or conduct a product recall.
Other U.S. Healthcare Laws
Our current and future business operations are subject to other U.S. healthcare regulations and enforcement at the federal, state, and local levels. These regulations encompass various laws, including but not limited to federal and state anti-kickback statutes, fraud and abuse laws, false claims laws, healthcare professional payment transparency requirements, and various state licensing regulations.
41
The federal Anti-Kickback Statute (“AKS”) prohibits individuals and entities from knowingly and willfully offering, soliciting, receiving, or providing any form of remuneration—whether directly or indirectly, overtly or covertly, in cash or in kind—to induce referrals for medical services, or to encourage the purchase, lease, ordering, or recommendation of any item or service that is reimbursable under federal healthcare programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. While there are statutory exceptions and regulatory safe harbors that protect certain common business practices from prosecution, they are narrowly defined. Any practice that includes financial incentives aimed at influencing prescriptions, purchases, or recommendations may come under regulatory scrutiny if it does not fall within one of these protected categories. Failure to meet the criteria for an exception or safe harbor does not automatically render an arrangement illegal under the AKS; rather, the legality of the transaction is assessed on a case-by-case basis, taking all relevant circumstances into account. Some court interpretations of the statute suggest that if any purpose of a financial arrangement is to induce referrals for federally funded healthcare services, it constitutes a violation. Additionally, ignorance of the law or lack of intent to violate it does not exempt an individual or entity from liability. Penalties for violating the AKS include imprisonment, fines, and possible exclusion from federal healthcare programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. In the past, the U.S. government has enforced the AKS to reach large settlements with healthcare companies based on sham research or consulting and other financial arrangements with physicians.
The False Claims Act (FCA) prohibits the submission of false or fraudulent claims for payment to the U.S. government. This law allows both government agencies and private individuals (“whistleblowers”) to bring legal actions against alleged violators. Because complaints are filed under seal, a company may not be aware of a claim against it until months or even years into the investigation. If the government joins the lawsuit and successfully recovers damages, or if the private plaintiff prevails without government intervention, the whistleblower is entitled to a portion of the settlement. The FCA has been a key tool in governmental investigations of life sciences companies, particularly in cases related to the promotion of products for unapproved uses and other sales and marketing practices. The government may also claim that any reimbursement request related to an AKS violation constitutes a false claim under the FCA, exposing companies to further penalties. Over the years, the FCA has led to multi-million and even multi-billion dollar settlements, including individual criminal convictions, and remains a primary focus of enforcement efforts in the healthcare industry.
The Civil Monetary Penalties Statute imposes financial penalties on individuals or entities found to have submitted claims to federal healthcare programs that they knew or should have known were false, fraudulent, or for services not provided as claimed. Additionally, many states have laws that closely mirror federal fraud and abuse statutes, and in some cases, they apply to transactions involving private insurers and third-party payors as well.
The Physician Payments Sunshine Act, a component of the Affordable Care Act, mandates that manufacturers of specific medical devices, drugs, and biologics report payments and other transfers of value made to physicians and teaching hospitals. These reporting requirements cover financial relationships with healthcare professionals, including consulting fees, travel, and ownership interests.
Under HIPAA, federal criminal statutes prohibit actions such as knowingly executing or attempting to execute a scheme to defraud a healthcare benefit program, whether it be a government-funded program or a private insurer. HIPAA also prohibits making false or fraudulent statements regarding the delivery of healthcare services or payments. HIPAA violations may result in civil and criminal penalties. The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (or HITECH Act) expanded HIPAA by increasing civil and criminal penalties, extending liability to business associates handling protected health information, and granting state attorneys general the authority to bring lawsuits in federal court for HIPAA violations.
A majority of states require that DME providers be licensed in order to sell products in that state. Certain of these states require, among other things, that DME providers maintain an in-state location. In order to sell products through the pharmacy channel, we are also subject to certain state pharmacy licensing regulations. Failure to comply with a state’s pharmacy licensing requirements could temporarily prohibit us from selling our products in that state. Relationships with third-party vendors may provide access to those states where we cannot meet state requirements. In addition, we are subject to certain state laws regarding professional licensure with respect to our advanced diabetes clinical educators.
Anti-Corruption Matters
42
The U.S. FCPA, national anti-corruption laws of EU member states, and other anti-corruption laws in other jurisdictions generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to government officials and other persons for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business and to ensure adequate internal controls, books, and records. Global enforcement of anti-corruption laws has increased in recent years, including investigations and enforcement proceedings leading to assessment of significant fines and penalties against companies and individuals. Our international operations create a risk of unauthorized payments or offers of payments by one of our employees, consultants, sales agents, or distributors. We maintain various controls aligned with legal requirements to prevent and prohibit improper practices, including policies, programs, and training for our employees and third-party intermediaries acting on our behalf. However, existing safeguards and any future improvements may not always be effective, and our employees, consultants, sales agents, or distributors may engage in conduct for which we could be held responsible. In addition, regulators could seek to hold us liable for conduct committed by companies in which we invest or that we acquire. Any alleged or actual violations of these regulations may subject us to government scrutiny, criminal or civil sanctions, and other liabilities, including exclusion from government contracting, and could disrupt our business, adversely affect our reputation and result in a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.
We have regular and ongoing interactions with governmental agencies, and our practice is to cooperate with such inquiries. In addition, from time to time, we may self-disclose potential concerns to governmental regulators. Like many in the medical device industry or with international operations, we may engage in periodic discussions with the SEC, U.S. Department of Justice, EU Member State authorities, and various authorities in China regarding certain activities. We are committed to regularly evaluating and, as appropriate, strengthening our anti-corruption compliance programs and practices. Any possible future determination that certain of our operations and activities, and/or those of our third-party distributors, are not in compliance with existing laws could result in the imposition of fines, penalties, and equitable remedies in the United States, EU, or other jurisdictions. We have not recorded an expense in connection with these matters because any potential loss is not currently probable and reasonably estimable. Additionally, we are unable to reasonably estimate the range of loss, if any, that may result from these matters.
International Regulations
International sales of medical devices are subject to foreign government regulations, which vary substantially from country to country. To market our products in other countries, we must obtain regulatory approvals and comply with safety and quality regulations in other countries. The time required to obtain approval by a foreign country may be longer or shorter than that required for U.S. FDA clearance or approval, and the requirements may differ. The EU/EEA requires a CE conformity mark in order to market medical devices. The United Kingdom requires a separate clearance. Many other countries, such as Australia, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka, utilize CE or U.S. FDA clearance or approval as part of their local regulatory compliance, although others, such as China, Brazil, Canada, and Japan, require altogether separate regulatory filings. Loss or inability to gain regulatory licenses from an agency in one country may affect license considerations in another.
European Union
In the EU/EEA, our existing devices are required to comply with the Essential Requirements of the EU Medical Devices Directive 93/42/EEC (the “EU MDD”), while any new products placed in the EU/EEA must comply with the EU MDR. Compliance with these requirements entitles us to affix the CE Marking of conformity to our medical devices, without which they cannot be commercialized in the EU/EEA. To demonstrate compliance with the Essential Requirements and obtain the right to affix the CE Marking of conformity, we must undergo a conformity assessment procedure, which varies according to the type of medical device and its risk classification.
Conformity assessment is the process demonstrating whether the requirements of the EU MDR relating to a device have been fulfilled. A conformity assessment consists of an evaluation of general product safety and performance, technical documentation and records, clinical evaluation, and post-market surveillance activities and records. Except for low-risk medical devices (Class I), where the manufacturer can issue an EU Declaration of Conformity based on a self-assessment of the conformity of its products with the Essential Requirements of the EU MDD (for existing products) or the EU MDR (for new products), a conformity assessment procedure requires the intervention of a Notified Body, which is an organization accredited by a Member State of the EU/EEA to conduct conformity assessments through audit and examination of a manufacturer’s products and processes. The higher the risk class of the device, the greater the involvement of a Notified Body in the conformity assessment.
Pursuant to EU MDR Article 51, taking into account device intended purposes and inherent safety risk, devices are divided into the following classes: I, Is, Im, IIa, IIb, and III, with Class I being the lowest risk class and Class III being the highest risk class. Our business portfolio includes high-risk class products such as the Class II 780G insulin pump. As such, our business is subject to the highest level of scrutiny and all associated business risks.
43
After conformity assessment and market release of a product, our business is subject to post-market scrutiny throughout the life of our products. There is continued post-market clinical evaluation of our products through internal and external post-market surveillance of not only our products but also competitor products throughout the product lifecycle.
Further, the advertising and promotion of our products in the EU/EEA are subject to the laws of individual EU/EEA Member States implementing the EU Medical Devices Directive, Directive 2006/114/EC concerning misleading and comparative advertising, and Directive 2005/29/EC on unfair commercial practices, as well as other EU/EEA Member State laws governing the advertising and promotion of medical devices. These laws may limit or restrict the advertising and promotion of our products to the general public and may impose limitations on our promotional activities with healthcare professionals. In some EU/EEA Member States, such as Italy, we are not allowed to sell our products directly to patients.
Failure to comply with EU Member State laws implementing the Medical Device Directive and, more recently, the EU Medical Device Regulation, the EU and EU Member State laws on the promotion of medicinal products, or other applicable regulatory requirements can result in enforcement action by the applicable EU Member State authorities. An enforcement action may result in any of the following: fines, imprisonment, orders forfeiting products or prohibiting or suspending their supply to the market, or requiring the manufacturer to issue public warnings or conduct a product recall.
Other Global Markets
The regulatory review processes for medical devices and drugs varies from country to country, and many countries also impose product standards, packaging requirements, environmental requirements, labeling requirements and import restrictions on devices. Each country has its own tariff regulations, duties, and tax requirements. We have obtained the necessary approvals to sell our products in over 80 countries. If our business is found to be noncompliant with any applicable healthcare regulation, we could face severe consequences, including civil and criminal penalties, fines, damages, operational restrictions, exclusion from federal, state, and foreign healthcare programs, and even imprisonment.
Data Privacy and Security Laws
In the normal course of our business, we handle personal and/or sensitive data. As a result, we are subject to a wide range of data privacy and security regulations at the federal, state, local, and international levels. These obligations include various laws, regulations, guidance, and industry standards governing data privacy, security, and protection. Relevant regulations may include, but are not limited to, HIPAA, the Federal Trade Commission Act, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, the Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act, the CCPA, the EU GDPR, the UK GDPR, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act in Canada, the Privacy Act 1988 in Australia, the Personal Information Protection Law in China, the General Data Protection Law in Brazil, and the Act on the Protection of Personal Information in Japan.
HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules
The privacy and data security regulations under HIPAA, as amended, contain detailed requirements concerning the use, disclosure, security, storage, access, and transmission of individually identifiable health information. HIPAA-covered entities and business associates must implement certain administrative, physical, and technical security standards to protect the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of certain electronic health information received, maintained, or transmitted. In the event of a data breach, a HIPAA-covered entity must promptly notify affected individuals of the breach and report the breach to the federal government. In addition to federal enforcement, state attorneys general may bring civil actions on behalf of state residents for violations of HIPAA, obtain damages on behalf of state residents, and enjoin further violations.
U.S. State Data Privacy Laws
Several U.S. states have enacted or proposed their own data privacy laws—for example, the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act, the Colorado Privacy Act, and the CCPA. These laws illustrate the increasingly stringent U.S. regulatory landscape surrounding personal data processing, which may expand our compliance responsibilities and increase our potential exposure for noncompliance. For instance, the CCPA applies to personal information of consumers, business representatives, and employees who are California residents and imposes specific obligations on covered businesses. These include requirements to provide detailed disclosures regarding the collection, use, and sharing of personal data, as well as to respond to consumer requests relating to the access to, deletion of, and sharing of personal information collected by covered businesses, and a consumer’s right to opt out of certain sales of their personal information. The CCPA also includes enforcement mechanisms, such as civil penalties for violations and a private right of action for certain data breaches, which can result in statutory damages.
44
As U.S. data privacy legislation continues to evolve, we are, or may become, subject to various federal and state consumer protection laws that require us to publish clear, accurate, and transparent statements regarding how we collect, use, disclose, and otherwise process personal data, as well as the choices individuals have regarding their information.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
The collection and use of personal data (including health data) in the European Economic Area (EEA) are governed by the EU GDPR and national implementing legislation in EEA Member States. The EU GDPR applies to any company established in the EEA and to companies established outside the EEA that process personal data in connection with the offering of goods or services to data subjects in the EEA or the monitoring of the behavior of data subjects in the EEA. The EU GDPR establishes stringent requirements applicable to the processing of personal data, including strict requirements relating to the validity of consent of data subjects, expanded disclosures about how personal data is used, requirements to conduct data protection impact assessments for “high risk” processing, limitations on retention of personal data, special provisions for “special categories of personal data” including health and genetic information of data subjects, mandatory data breach notification (in certain circumstances), “privacy by design” requirements, and direct obligations on service providers acting as processors. The EU GDPR also prohibits the international transfer of personal data from the EEA to countries outside of the EEA unless made to a country deemed to have adequate data privacy laws by the European Commission or a data transfer mechanism has been put in place. Failure to comply with the requirements of the EU GDPR and the related national data protection laws of the EEA Member States may result in fines up to 20 million euros or 4% of a company’s global annual revenues for the preceding financial year, whichever is higher. Moreover, the EU GDPR affords various data protection rights to individuals (i.e., the right to erasure of personal data) in certain circumstances, and the ability for data subjects to claim material and non-material damages resulting from infringements of the EU GDPR. Given the breadth and depth of changes in data protection obligations, maintaining compliance with the EU GDPR will require significant time, resources, and expense, and we may be required to put in place additional mechanisms ensuring compliance with evolving data protection rules.
AI Regulation
As a result of the release and availability of AI technologies, including generative AI platforms, we have seen a global trend toward more comprehensive and refined regulation of AI that will impact our business, such as the EU AI Act, that are designed to ensure the ethical use, security, and privacy of AI and create standards for transparency, accountability, and fairness. Obligations imposed by the EU AI Act and similar regimes may lead to regulatory fines or penalties, require us to change our business practices, retain our AI technologies, or prevent or limit our use of AI technologies.
Environmental, Health, and Safety and Sustainability Laws and Regulations
We are subject to EHS and sustainability laws and regulations concerning, among other things: the generation, handling, transportation, storage, and disposal of hazardous substances or wastes; human health and safety; the remediation of hazardous substances or materials; emissions or discharges into the land, air, or water; and climate change. We are further subject to numerous laws and regulations concerning, among other things, chemical constituents in medical products and end-of-life disposal and take-back programs for medical devices. Our operations and those of certain of our third-party suppliers involve the use of substances subject to these laws and regulations. In addition, many regulatory agencies in the United States and internationally are imposing new and evolving regulatory requirements on the safe use of certain chemicals. See “Risk Factors—Legal and Regulatory Risks—We are subject to EHS laws and regulations and the risk of environmental liabilities, violations, and litigation.” New laws and regulations, violations of these laws and regulations, stricter enforcement of existing requirements, or the discovery of previously unknown contamination could require us to incur costs, become the basis for new or increased liabilities, fines or sanctions, or other risks, or, in extraordinary situations, result in the shutdown of facilities.
Seasonality
Our total revenues vary slightly from quarter to quarter. Based on historical experience, we generally have higher revenues toward calendar year end and our fiscal year end. The trend is primarily driven by annual insurance deductible resets and unfunded flexible spending account dynamics in the U.S. market, which is partially counteracted by lower pump sales as our competitors push for a strong end to their fiscal years, which align to calendar years. Sales of our single-use products such as infusion sets, reservoirs, and CGMs have generally mitigated quarterly seasonal fluctuations in pump sales.

Human Capital
We have a highly experienced and diverse team with deep technical expertise, ethics and integrity, and a strong track record of success. Our employee base consists of approximately 8,000 people globally including a scaled technical workforce of approximately 15% in innovation and research and development as of April 2026.
Our employees are united and committed in our mission of improving the lives of PWD, with many of our employees having a personal connection with the condition. We foster a workplace where employees feel their efforts make a meaningful impact on patients.
We are committed to cultivating a culture of meritocracy and fairness, ensuring that individuals from all backgrounds can reach their full potential. We want to be a great place to work where our people know their efforts are making a difference for patients and the company. We are committed to ensuring quality assurance in how we lead from hire to retire. This begins with a deep understanding of the skills and talents required for success in every role, allowing us to compete for and attract the best people. Our compensation structure is designed to reflect customer success, company performance, and both team and individual contributions. Once we hire someone, we focus on reducing the time it takes for them to become productive. Managers play a key role by providing consistent, timely, and clear feedback to help employees reach their full potential. We set high expectations that are intended to drive meaningful and competitive impact. To maintain our agility and responsiveness, we work to eliminate bureaucratic barriers that could slow our speed to market.
MiniMed Ways of Working
To achieve our mission, we align our team around six core ways of working:
• We are obsessed with customers in everything we do. We are obsessed with our customers including PWD and their caregivers, HCPs, and payors in everything we do. We always start from the customer and work backwards to simplify their experience. We work to minimize forces that reduce our ability to serve our customers efficiently. We advocate for the customer in all layers and details of the business. Their loyalty is our competitive advantage.

•We are a company of owners, and we take results personally. We manage for the short term and the long term. We optimize for the whole and not just our team. We prioritize efficiency and action, focusing on overcoming challenges to deliver results even in the face of challenges. We are resourceful and consistently seek opportunities to maximize impact while minimizing costs. We are a performance-driven team. We value and reward results.
•We attract, develop, and retain the best people. We seek out exceptional people. Our people believe in the culture of kaizen and that learning is never complete. We solve problems quickly to unlock obstacles that prevent people from doing their best work. Our leaders take seriously their responsibility to develop and coach the next generation.
•We insist on excellence. We strive for excellence and continuously raise the bar on quality of our products, services, and processes. Our leaders are both a telescope and a microscope, able to dive deep to solve problems, and no job is beneath us.
•We are courageous. We think big, start small, and move fast. We prioritize doing what is right, even when it is not the easiest or most popular choice. We have the confidence to speak up, to be transparent, to challenge ideas and decisions respectfully. Conflicts are addressed openly and debated deeply. We are “all in” and united once decisions are made. “One team” is our mantra, and team success trumps all.
•We let the best ideas win. Our people are confidently humble. We believe the best ideas should win regardless of where they come from. We actively seek and value diverse perspectives, both internally and externally, to foster innovation to better serve our customers.
We embrace the culture of kaizen and continuous improvement in our talent and succession processes, with a cadence of talent deep dives throughout the year, to foster talent movement and career development. Every leader is personally responsible for the development of their teams including the use of new tools and programs such as GenAI and DevSecOps and productivity tools. We provide an Employee Assistance Program for counseling, financial, and mental health support and we promote social connections and campus life through affinity groups and volunteer programs.
MiniMed Operating System
The way that we run the company is based on the MiniMed Ways of Working (leadership behaviors) and the MiniMed Operating System (MOS) which is our framework of tools, procedures and processes to get things done and achieve transformational results across every functional area of the company. In the short term, our MOS helps drive accountability, better decision-making, risk management, and consistent execution. In the long term, our goal is to build new capabilities to position us for scale and future growth.
